Do you mean we literally are going to be getting replies from our user...or is
it
going to be an instance where we give them a url and when they click on that
url -
the action that we want taken, say for e.g. the validation of the account,
happens.
For email notification of rides we do not expect users to reply to us. For e.g.
if a
person has accepted a ride that the driver offered - then the driver will be
emailed
to check their user account page where they will have to accept the person who
wants
the ride and then that person is notified of this and the fact that the ride
should
now be visible under accepted rides in their user account page.
For registration though I guess we do need it such that the user is sent a link
which when they click perhaps a boolean value called register which was set in
the
database under the user account when they first signed up is changed to true?
What do you think?

Yes I think we may have to worry about users replying. Just have a
link they click on, may not work for us. The user maybe outside of the massey
domain,
and so not able to get to the web site, which make a link worthless.
Yes it seems to be a registration issue only at the moment.
We still need to know what smtp server to use and what username to use. We
maybe
only sending emails not expecting a reply, but the email still has to get to
them.

I asked Lisa today about emailing from our project and the possiblity of
getting a
account set up for our project so we can use email.
It doesn't look good as far as emailing from our project within massey is
concerned.
We can send emails using one of our student email addresses through masseys smtp
server, but getting replies is going to be problematic.
As for getting a new account set up for our project, we would have to see
someone
called Paul, I think. Historically the answer has been no. We could persue
this,
but with only two weeks left, it seems not worth it. We can still ask, but I
can see
the wheels of bureaucracy at work here. Had we pursued this at the beginning of
the
semester, we might have stood a better chance, but I'm not feeling optimistic.
The safeguarding of users during registration can take the form of the blurred
image
thing, and that should cover that requirement.
It's still possible to send emails, so if we want I can do this and we can use
someones massey email address, and we can use this to send out notifications to
users
of events, etc.

I think we still need to be able to send people emails notifying them of
changes but
we can specify on the email that people cannot reply to us. You said that
sneding
emails is ok right? If it is then you can use my email address to do the
sending the
emails bit...though I have no idea what my massey email address actually is.

Alright I will proceed write the code needed to do this.
I will create a table on the database with these details of the username, email
address and password, so we can configure them though the admin page if we
want, with
it throwing a exception if no data is present in the table.
