Yup, it's a menu command option that I added to the prelogin menu.

After mentioning 4 or 5 times during the account creation process that email verification is required, they have the option to press ! to cancel account creation or press enter to create the account and proceed to email verification.
                   
Action List                Access       Data
(-V) Validate e-mail addre s10!s11      20

If they pressed enter a bunch of times or entered the wrong verification code a bunch of times the validation would kick them out, so I also have a lockout menu that they're sent to if they try and skip the process:

Action List                Access       Data
(GO) Go to new menu        s20          main
(GO) Go to new menu        s10!s11      lockout

The lockout menu simply has 5 commands, verify your email address; change your email address; send a message to the sysop; delete your account (via the dm-suicide mod) or goodbye.


Depending on your menu flow, you may want to add a yes/no question into the
mix before heading to validation:

Action List                Access       Data
(-Y) Ask Yes/No            s10!s11      Verify Email Address?
(-V) Validate e-mail addre OK           20

The 20 in the Data field is the security level the user is given upon successful email validation.


On my board s10 are unvalidated users and s20 is validated.  You could also use the OV access to capture all of your users who haven't validated their email address regardless of their security level:

Action List                Access       Data
(-V) Validate e-mail addre !OV          20

You'd of course want to make sure your users have an email address entered before sending them down the road.
