Hi,

Does anyone know how to implement an email verification system? By  
this I mean, a user subscribes to a mailing list, receives an email  
with a link and has to follow that link to verify ownership of the  
email?

Any thoughts?

Ron

Do one thing create one method in controller and get the code u send at  
the time of verification. and match it that code with your database  
code. and activate the account.
