I was wondering what other users of PHPNUKe do when they get returned emails?
I was looking for a module that could test emails or check the details of users and allow easy deletion of their account.

phpNuke doesn't really communicate with the mail server, it uses PHP email sender script. You'd have to write a script to access the mail server for returned emails.
You may need a script to send people a new confirmation email to activate their account again.

so no one worries about dead email addresses?
I was just curious. I have just reached 600 registered users and am getting like 30 dead email returns. I cant imagine how many you would get with 6000 or more users

It does stink.
I went through my bounced emails the other night and wiped some of them.
The interesting find though was some users mailboxes that were full, so
I am glad I didnt have an auto wipe mechanism in place for that.
You would need a reporting page with the actual error the mail was returned just to be fair.
