David, thank you for the hint on the contact list, I should have guessed that this was implemented there because, as you say, this feature is not very common in the ecommerce world but in the mailing lists. I will start studying that.
The reasons I think this could be useful are mainly two: 1) If we provide an "email lost password" feature we should be sure to have a valid email address from the very first registration. 2) Since we have no captcha function I am worried about robots that could generate thousands of false accounts filling up the database. Having neither captcha and e-mail verification could expose the ecommerce too much, don't you think so? -Bruno 2008/9/29 David E Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Bruno, > > The closest thing to this in OFBiz that I'm aware of is the contact list > registration, which does require that you verify an email address before the > user is fully registered and receives emails through the contact list. > > Is there a reason you want to do email verification?
