This plugin disables posting for accounts that do not have a validated email address. Example: addPlugin('RequireValidatedEmail'); If you don't want to apply the validationr equirement to existing accounts, you can specify a cutoff date to grandfather in users registered prior to that timestamp. addPlugin('RequireValidatedEmail', array('grandfatherCutoff' => 'Dec 7, 2009'); You can also exclude the validation checks from OpenID accounts connected to a trusted provider, by providing a list of regular expressions to match their provider URLs. For example, to trust WikiHow and Wikipedia users: addPlugin('RequireValidatedEmailPlugin', array( 'trustedOpenIDs' => array( '!^http://\w+\.wikihow\.com/!', '!^http://\w+\.wikipedia\.org/!', ), )); Todo: * add a more visible indicator that validation is still outstanding * test with XMPP, API posting
