Ok, how would you suggest I change it? I would really like to have a valid email address because, as I said above, some site functionality depends on it. Should I allow them to immediately use the Simplist and just disable email-dependent features until it's confirmed?
Or trust them, and let them change their email later (or verify it later), if they decide they can't live without the features that need a valid email.
I've found that the vast majority of users enter a valid email to start with. Those who are really security-conscious might use a one-time email just to register, which won't work later on anyway.

What percentage of users do you want to turn away automatically? It's not a privacy issue.

yes. Only ask for stuff when you really need it.
