    What does it means ?

    Hi,

    Recently I have about 80-150 emails like this everyday :

    Do you have any idea what is this ? (It means that all emails are wrong but right ? )

    Hi. This is the qmail-send program at sn02.filebulk.com.
    I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
    This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

    <sjake1168@gmail.com>:
    74.125.77.27 does not like recipient.
    Remote host said: 550-5.1.1 The email account that you tried to reach does not exist. Please try
    550-5.1.1 double-checking the recipient's email address for typos or
    550-5.1.1 unnecessary spaces. Learn more at
    550 5.1.1 'This Gmail user does not exist...' - Gmail Help y2si7872070eeh.61
    Giving up on 74.125.77.27.

    It means people are signing up with emails that either
    a) don't exist
    b) are not set up to accept mail from you



    You should really send out all emails from a 'noreply@domain.com' and set anything that doesn't exist to :fail: on your server (do not use blackhole!!!!)


    Sort of on topic,

    I've found the email confirmation to be a complete waste of time and more trouble than its worth. It doesn't prevent spam in any way shape or form, and all it does is eat resources (mail function is very intense) and potentially block GOOD users from ever being to post due to bounces/etc.

    Thanks for the reply Brian, I agree with disabling the email verification coz it hasnt stopped spammers in my forums.

    so You mean I set noreply@domain.com (fake email) as the Webmaster email ?


    Regards.
