I just had a guy sign up with abuse address of my internet provider!
Depending on the circumstances, the provider can get regular replies to indecent threads,or regular daily mailings of board postings with no recourse to unsusbscribe!!!!
URGENT features
We will all be labelled spammers. Not only a bad reputation, but our domains may actually be put on email spam filters and blocking lists
What we need is
a) a one click automatic opt out link in all emails like replies to posts and subscription to boards!! I suggest that the opt-out asks one more time "are you sure" before the subscription gets cancelled. the opt out should stop ALL automatic mailings!
b) email verification, before subscriptions to boards will be sent out
(email verification means the person has to click on a link or fill out a form with a password, to confirm he really wants to receive the stuff). this is also important in the case of email changes! these must be verified!!
c) a bounce check. if email bounces 3 times, it will be automatically unsubscribed.
in this respect, it would be very good if people could sign up with the password of their choice, and receive an email with a verification code. Once the verification code is used, only one time, then the chosen password is active, not an awkward random password!!!
