<p>This plugin is can be used for petitions, events, or any verified list and as far as I know is unique in WordPress.</p>
<p>Creating a petition/list/signup is as easy as adding a shortcode to a post or page (or CPT). From there additional editors are available to configure easch aspect of the sign up. Everything is completely self hosted and all list members become users of your site (not a third parties).</p>
<p>Available shortcodes:</p>
<p>[lh_signing_form] (enable signatories on any post, page, or custom post type)</p>
<p>Unconfirmed signatories: [lh_signing_unconfirmed_count]</p>
<p>Confirmed signatories: [lh_signing_confirmed_count]</p>
<p>Total signatories: [lh_signing_total_count]</p>
<p>[lh_signing_unconfirmed_list] (unformated list)</p>
<p>[lh_signing_confirmed_list] (unformated list)</p>
<p>You can customise the display of the signing form ([lh_signing_form]) via a number of shortcode arguments more information is available <a href="https://lhero.org/portfolio/lh-signing/" title="Additional Plugin documentation" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a></p>

<p>Most email validators look for an <code>@</code> and a <code>.</code>(dot) some go further and blacklist certain domain names. But Mailgun’s Advanced email validation service goes deeper and looks for the existence of the domain name, presence of a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MX_record" rel="nofollow ugc">MX record</a> and the custom ESP(Email Service Provider) grammar.<br />
The grammar here is the rules defined by each email provider. For example, Yahoo Mail addresses can only contain letters, numbers, underscores, and one period.<br />
So <code>user.name.abc@yahoo.com</code> perfectly passes the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_email" rel="nofollow ugc">is_email()</a> function but can never exist as it contains more than one period. Such addresses can’t escape Mailgun’s Email validation.</p>
<h4>Why use Mailgun’s email validation service?</h4>
<ul>
<li>Performs the usual email syntax check.</li>
<li>Checks the existence of the email domain. So <code>user@some-random-characters.com</code> can’t escape.</li>
<li>Checks if the email domain has a MX record. So <code>anything@example.com</code> is caught.</li>
<li>Checks if the username complies with the grammar of its ESP (Email Service provider). Eg Gmail doesn’t allow usernames less than 6 characters and hyphens so <code>small@gmail.com</code> and <code>hyphen-user@gmail.com</code> can’t get away.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Why use this plugin?</h4>
<ul>
<li>Integrates with the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_email" rel="nofollow ugc">is_email()</a> function of WordPress. So it works seamlessly with Contact Form 7, Jetpack/Grunion contact forms, WordPress registration form and any form which uses the <code>is_email()</code> function.</li>
<li>Kicks spam before it is inserted into the database</li>
<li>Ensures that the commenting process is uninterrupted even if Mailgun suffers a <a href="http://status.mailgun.com" rel="nofollow ugc">downtime</a></li>
<li>Works completely transparent, nothing changes in the frontend</li>
</ul>
<p>This plugin requires a Mailgun Public API Key which can be obtained by <a href="https://mailgun.com/signup" rel="nofollow ugc">signing up at Mailgun</a>.</p>
<p>If you’re trying out this plugin on a local WAMP/LAMP/MAMP installation make sure your system is connected to the Internet for this plugin to contact Mailgun.</p>
