hi, the best way for this is optin and optout method. so you can referrer if the users email exist. if the users email exists you can to assume the user is the user who would like the registration for your website. in the email you can set a link to a modul of your website. in this link you can take an accesskey, wich you generated by a new account. this key is the users unique id. now not all users given there right email and the email will send back to you. first choice you select the incoming returns or you can write a script who will checked a emailaccount for returned emails. in this programm you can select the "to"-field and check it in your database. is any user in the email true then you can delete them and you database will be clean. you can lookup this: http://www.smtphost.de/smtp.auth please insert your emailaddress, it will be generat an email for you. then you click the link in this email. this way is optin. if you want to unregister you can delete your account from the same formular what you are registered. ok....this is my way.....any other ideas? andreas van loock -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Davy Obdam [mailto:info@davyobdam.com] Gesendet: Sonntag, 9.
