Hey,

First off, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place, I did not see a "Request Hacks" section so I just assumed it would go here.

I was wondering how hard it would be to make the user enter their email twice, as they must do with their password, when signing up. I've had about 400 user registrations in the past week and about 40 of them have been re-registering users; people who screwed up their email the first time so they renamed themselves to oldname1 to sign up.

This is very annoying because my mail server will continue trying to send messages for a while so I get an inbox full of mail undeliverable. I tried putting up a big announcement on the front page for users that weren't logged in and they STILL manage to not read it / pay attention.

I am about to ban all the free email hosts I can find, as the problem is 90% with them. Speaking of free email hosts, would anybody happen to know of a giant list of email hosts I can add to the block file?

Thanks for your time and help,
Nick
