But still, I think it may be worthwhile (if optional, > maybe). I'm very concerned about this aspect. Confirming email addresses is something we cannot do. What about just looking up the A/MX record for the domain itself and checking those? That should be safe. Nobody is going to register one domain per spam victim, but doing a one-way hash between hostname and user is not too hard. It doesn't have to be something that easily decodes into an email address, it could just be an English word in a table, like: Hamlet -> [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mouse -> [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
