Hard Problem

It's a fairly impossible problem to solve :-(
The only way I can think of is mailing their password to the address the subscriber supplies.
Squishdot certainly doesn't do that out of the box... |

The usual way is to send the registrant
an email to the email address that they
entered. This initial email contains
a key or a link that the registrant must
use to complete the registration process.

Thanks, Rob.
I knew the basic _outline_ of how to get this done. I was just wondering if someone had created a Python or Zope routine that would give me a leg up in creating this from scratch.
Seems not, so I'm blasting ahead with my own effort. Maybe I'll contribute the finished product back to the community.

"are providing a valid email address and that they are who they say they are. "
The second bit "they are who they say they are" is quite a bit more difficult. This is usually done by a login process, cookies, or both.
We have a heavily modified Squishdot site that does all this (at http://act.greenpeace.org), but getting an authentication system set up is not at all trivial. You might want to look at the LoginManager Zope product or wait until Swishdot is working and then use the CMF login features.

| I was on here loking around for some other verification programs, i just wanted to let you guys know, if you are having problems validating email addresses you can run a verification program either from your company, or if your SMTP server restrictions are set for security purposes you mite have to run a list off-site, but there are hundreds of email verification programs out here, the one i use is advanced email verifier, they work nicely for making sure you have a valid , deliverable list |
