https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=33633 Bug ID: 33633 Summary: Check if email exists Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Patrons Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: cbrannon@cdalibrary.org QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com, kyle.m.hall@gmail.com Is there any kind of mechanism available for Koha to use to test the existence of an email address before actually trying to send an email? It seems like there should be some way to ask email servers if the address at least exists, if not asking the status of the account, so it can make an informed decision on sending notices. Right now, Koha just sends to the address without knowing anything. If it doesn't exist, or is full, or blocked, then it is up to staff to figure it out and pass that information along to the patron. If there is some way to figure this out before sending, then we would be able have Koha do something else, like send to a secondary email address, text, phone, restrict the account, etc. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
