Directory submissions with undeliverable confirmations

    Lately I seem to be getting quite a few good submissions to my directory which have undeliverable email addresses attached to them. I don't send out emails to those who have listings in my directory, but is it too much to ask that people use a good email to request a listing with?

    I can understand people who are submitting crap sites to directories not wanting to use a good email address, but I'm really surprised that some very reputable sites seem to be using bad emails.

    I'm sure they have their reasons, but I'm on the verge of deleting quite a few listings which I would like to keep.

    Just curious what others policies are when it comes to undeliverable email confirmations.

    End of Rant... :mad:

    If they submit with a fake email, delete them everytime. Seriously, time is precious. Why bother with these morons who want to play games.

    Recently i received plenty of submissions from support[at]google.com and google received like 10 "Links waiting for approval" mail.... I had to send an email to google saying sorry and it was the submitter's fault and that i banned their IPs.
