I would add that you should have a link in the email that goes to your secure environment so that the user doesn't feel they 'have' to use the email form and can choose the more secure system. (this will also help for people who don't have the ability to read/use 'html' typed emails.)

A couple of gotchas... 1. Someone else could use the same email account. 2. The recipient could forward the message to someone else, on purpose or inadvertently. You should probably ask for at least one bit of information to tighten it up a bit. I think we ask for two bits of information such as last name and birthdate. If they get that right, we let them in. If not, we show an empty form (since we don't want to turn anyone away). m!ke -----Original Message----- From: James Blaha [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2008 4:11 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Sample Email Based Application Needed All, Does anyone know of a CF sample application that might address the following scenario? Loop over a table and email users a link to update their i.e. contact information, then in a form they verify or update their information and click submit. As for security, the link in their email might only be good for a few days and contain pertinent URL information in an encrypted format. No login required. Is this possible to do relatively securely without forcing users to login to a web application?
