Email verification
Duncan Hamra
1) At the moment, anyone can signup with any kind of email address (no confirmation required) and get access to my content/product/service.
2) I require members to signup before they can get access to my content. If they can add a fake email, that completely invalidates the "gate" in "gated content." It's also important when sending out required emails like Terms of Service updates.
3) There are some hacky workarounds https://community.memberstack.com/c/community-support/email-verification-process
4) Enable an optional email verification step. Let me use my own email verification emails. Let a service like Mailchimp verify emails.

One way that this could be accomplished is by calling an email verification e.g. https://mailboxlayer.com/. There are others, but this is one that I used on another project.

Very applicable. We're trying to create a discounted offering for students at .edu email addresses. I could currently register with a made up .edu email address and still get access which defeats the purpose of only allowing signups from specific domains...
