Re: open source advice needed

[David Mayne]

Just curious Kimberly, but have you looked at some of the existing open
source learning packages out there, like, perhaps moodle (I know, not
python, but it is pretty extensive open source education package). Perhaps
what you are wanting to do can be added into an existing open source
package - just a thought.

Re: How to ensure genuine emails despite valid email format?

[David Mayne]

a) - you can use a service like http://www.bulkemailchecker.com/ - there
are a number of them that have an api you can verify the email address on
form input.
b - d) you can use https://mxtoolbox.com/ api to find blacklisted IP's and
domains.

Another option is to add a verification step - send the user a verification
email for them to reply to.
