there is no email validation at this time. you can only reset passwords.

Actually, there is.. I was FINALLY reading the update files (yea why
read the docs?!?!?).. A few weeks back I posted a message saying pretty much the same thing, I wanted to have the BBS send an email to a new
user and when they responded back with a code it would update their
access automatically. In other words a New User Validater. Today while bored at work, I read the wiki and found that there is a Email validate menu function now, it is -V what it will do is send the user Or in my
case New User a code in email and ask for them to respond with said
code, if they respond with the correct code the "OV" ACS command will respond as true, and if you put an access level in the data field it
will upgrade the user to that level. Thus my new user validater.. I will just add it as the first command in the prelogin menu and it should do
the trick.. That is if it works as the docs say it does.. If the email
is false they don't get access and stay at level 10.. Damn, that was a mouthful!!

make sure uses use a valid email address just to ensure they can reset their password via email if necessary.
How right you are... good catch and apologies as I had missed this when last reading the whatsnew.txt

It does work. I've had it going for a while with just a one slight
glitch that might not be an issue outside of testing. The tricky part
is piecing together the clues in the docs to get all the pieces of the puzzle right. I say this with just 4 real world users having utilized
the feature, but it seems to have worked as advertised for them.

I hate to keep using the term works like a charm but it does! I added a step at the beginning of FIRSTCMD in prelogin.mnu which sends the -V command but also checks access to make sure it is New User and not validated so in my case I set the ACS to s10!s15 which is below s20
which is validated. Then in the data part I put 20! If the email
validates they get access level 20 until I can go in and make
adjustments. Since I didn't like the idea of it just popping up a
question to enter the code emailed to them. I added a Text File which explains it.. I may go one step further and make it optional with a
yes/no question on if they want to do it. If they don't it just skips it and continues. If they skip it well then I will scrutinize the application
Can someone post a Step-By-Step on how to implement this?
What glitch are you having??
Cool I am convinced and will try to set it up this weekend for my BBS. Been meaning to look into this so glad you brought it up :)
There is NO NEED for you to apologize.. I am glad I found it and was
able to implement it and now get ideas on how to modify it to be even better then what I have now! I weened on Commodore BBS' specifically
Image BBS (Still am running them and now programming the new 3.0
version) but anything I wanted to do I wrote a file in basic to do. With Mystic all I need to do is make a menu or modify a menu OR prompt! Makes life so much easier! g00r00 put it all in there...
About 50% of the time, with real users, and local test users, it works perfectly. I have it set up similar to what you described, but with a separate "verifier menu" with 3 commands, the -V, a quit back to Main,
and a display a help file. Half the time, once the new user app info is entered, the user can go to the verifier menu, gets the code sent,
enters it and they are upgraded. The other half of the time the -V menu option does nothing. If that user logs off and right back on and then tries the verification, it works. No errors or obvious problems, and I can't see any pertinent differences between the ones that work on the first try and those that require a logoff/logon to get it to work. In
fact I've even tried it with a test user, sign up, verify, delete the user, try again. Using the exact same user data, email and all,
sometimes it works first time, sometimes the logoff/logon is required to get the -V to do it's thing. In all cases the new user is added into Mystic fine, just some can verify right after signing up, others have to do the off/back on to get 'er done.

That is awesome, I cut my teeth with Image and Darkstar BBS on the good old C64. I still have two of them and game with them.
