email verification system

[80smusic]

Hi, I'm not sure if I've put this in the right section, but I'm looking for a method that will send an email confirmation to people who submit to my mailing list to check to see if it is actually their email address. Like when you sign up to forums and you have to click the link in the email to confirm.

Has anyone got any ideas?

thanks

Solution i use is the mail agent in database server. When new member signs up, the insert into the database triggers code that sends a an email.

Of course, if your site doesn't have a database server with mail facilities this won't help.
