From the developer
Michael's own description of DM Confirm Email, lightly tidied.
Having so many spam registrations? Tired of getting fake users with fake emails? Good news! DM Confirm Email will solve your problems.
DM Confirm Email will send a confirmation email and the only time it will actually “create” the account for the user if the email address is confirmed.
Also allows you to send a welcome message to newly confirmed and created users which is great to give your new users initial instructions or other information that can be helpful to new users.
DM Confirm Email integrates seamlessly with wordpress registration system and uses all native registration hooks which allows all your current customization and plugins to the registration work.
