This message was sent from: Suggestions and Proposals http://forums.oscommerce.com/viewtopic.php?p=196646#196646 ---------------------------------------------------------------- I've installed the sample store using osCommerce 2.2ms2 on an Apache server. After getting the file permissions correct (on linux), I started to try out the features. Unless I have done something stupid, I see a serious problem with email from osCommerce. When you register a new user, you are prompted to input an email address. Unlike this forum system, osCommerce DOES NOT REQUIRE a unique activation access to a special web page. This means that I can go to a competitors store and register a spamtrap email address or the address of a serious spam hater to a non-confirmed newsletter or even to the regular store email. This will result in a TOS (terms of service) violation with the ISP - you ARE spamming. Repeated violations will end up with the ISP on an email block list - or with the store being kicked off of the ISP. Are there any plans to add a confirmation step similar to the one used in this forum to osCommerce? I believe that it would be a good idea...
