Hello I wish to have any domain entered as a email to be automatically marked as a verified email. I have no intention of using the email part of discourse

Hello,

I’m not sure it’s possible without creating a plugin or using the API.

How would your users be able to reset their password it they forget it? Can you share a bit about how you use Discourse for your community? Not using emails at all is quite uncommon.

It’s a anonymous tor community. Using email over tor is quite uncommon and very sketchy for a anonymous community platform

I think the only way is to use some external authentication tool that will create accounts without validation.
