I'm looking for a piece of software which doesn't ask a user to confirm their e-mail address. I'm not going to be using this for spamming purposes but last month around 120 people added their name to my list but only 28 confirmed their e-mail address.

Preferably I would prefer this software to be free or extremely low cost - I am currently using Coollist but it is all ad-supported and doesn't look at all professional.

Any help you could give me would be most appreciated.

Kind Regards

Hi Chris,

Are you sure it's such a good idea taking this out altogether? I know that your statistics support the idea, but I imagine that the feature is there to make sure that you are getting the correct address.

I'm not aware of the software that you are using at the moment, but can you customise it? I would suggest a little validation that makes sure the user has confirmed their email address. This is a pretty standard feature of most online forms.
