Email confirmation link

I'm using CDO mail in my asp scripts, and I need to find a script that
whereas a user signs up for your website and when he hits submit, an
email goes to his email box with a confirmation link for him to click
so to ensure he has a valid email address. Does anyone know of a
package or series of scripts that works with this?
Thanks

Just let him click on:

<http://theDom.ain/confirmMail.asp ?id=123&tempwrd =aqswdefr>

and in confirmMail.asp check the database record with the id, and the
tempwrd for a onetime password. If both are correct within the timeout also
set in a field of that record, say two or 24 hours, activate the record as
email submitted.

tempwrd is filled with a simple random word.

Hi there Is it posible to make a link (to a php-file on a server) in an email that, when you click on it, sends info about who the reciver of the email is? Lets say I send out an email thru an alias to a group of people and I want to give them the opportunity to sign up for an event using that link. Those that click the link are added to a post in a database (MySQL), eg. with their email adress, initials, name... whatever. I

Hi, Thanks to this group I discovered the excellent PHP Mailer (http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/) which I use to send emails.

Problem I am having is that some members are saying the links do not work

Hi. Looking for some feedback on how to prevent a specific spam attack. I have a form for a person to subscribe to a mailing list and they can type in their email and click submit to subscribe. They then are sent an email asking them to click a link to confirm. how can I prevent a spammer from simply looping through thousands of emails and populating my email list table with thousands of records and crashing the system?

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
