im trying to add smtp capabilities to my website, and im trying to get some help on what i would need (during development and server side after deployment).

the biggest reason i want to do this is so that when new users create a login, i want to send a confirmation email and then once they click on a link, it will validate the user. im curious to see how these dynamic urls are created for validation and then proceed with the login creation process. this is almost like a standard now on forums. is there any examples on how to accomplish this? links, tutorials?

thanks
