Emails can be validated (in the same way your email client

I have always learned to turn that feature off. So you can't verify a
mail-address against the mailserver I maintained. I don't think I'm the
only one as that is a way to fight spam. So they can't file bugs anymore?
I was thinking about regular people who use regular mails. Not people
running their own servers...
I think that a lot of hardcore users would be mad if you exclude them. I
wouldn't want that, as some of our developers are those users, I for
example wouldn't be able to work on the BSA anymore. So a big NO against
any such rule.
And the answer would be no, they couldn't. But then again, you can't
register to Bugzilla without a valid email, so I can't see why people are
arguing against my suggestion...

Ah.. the bugzilla-page you are pointing to doesn't do that either. It
just does a simple regex-test (which only validates if the text entered
could be a email-address) and then sends you a email. That is a totaly
different process then you explained.

I think we should at least make the registration-requirement
later in the process
I disagree. I think that the requirements must be obvious from the start. If
a registration is required the user should know and agree with it.
When I come across sites that do those kind of tricks, my reaction is to
close the page immediately. And then the site looses my feedback and I am
pissed because I wasted my time...
Ok. Maybe I explained it wrong. The login is explained and you can see
the login-button from the start. But you are not required to
login/create a account until the last step. Is that better or still a
bad idea?
