I might start banning users using fake emails

Hey guys,
Everytime the site sends out notifications, there's like 50 or more messages that come back from servers saying the address doesn't exist. I'm considering banning users with fake emails. It's like a few months down the road before I do anything... Putting in email verification for new users is my first priority, but just be warned. Fix your email in your settings if it's fake or you can't get into it. If you don't want weekly notification messages, you can turn those off in the settings too. Thanks, ponies.

Many folks use disposable emails as well, so I would be cautious about it.

It would depend on your email provider.  If you're using a Google, AOL, Hotmail, Outlook, Live, Yahoo, GMX or a few other popular ones it should work fine.  It's possible if you're not using one of those it may or may not work.
