Hello,
it appears that vBulletin 4.2.5 Alpha 2 sends an activation e-mail to newly registered user even the e-mail is wrong, like "[email protected]"
Please how to fix this inside the code?

I have found following in /includes/class_mail.php

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Maybe it is correct code to modify?

Here they mention following:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

MX code may delay things so is questionable. Maybe better to validate on registration form?

/register.php contains:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

can i append after that:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

When i do it, reg. form says "Could not find phrase 'to be valid e-mail'."
After using valid e-mail then no warning appear. Is this sufficing, or do You have idea how to fix it please?

A quick look at that section in vb4.2.5 (final) class_mail.php shows a lot less code, I haven't the time to check through and see what the differences are but a good start would be update from Alpha to the final release version.

Have you edited any of the core vbulletin files?

Back up your site first and then reupload those files fresh from vbulletin.
