Registration Email Not Received

Postby Lunarius_Haberdash » Thu Jun 09, 2016 5:40 pm

I have a couple friends trying to register accounts here, but they aren't receiving an email. I thought perhaps it had to do with where they're located or something equally benign, and attempted to register another account.

Almost an hour in and still no registration email received. Spam folders and such already checked. Advise?

Sevenless: We already know real life has some pretty shitty game mechanics, it's why we're here instead.
Avu: The end is near it has finally come to pass: I agree with Lunarius...
Shubla: There are also other reasons to play this game than to maximize your stat gain.

Just tested with a sane mail provider: registration is working.

Suggestions:
-> Enter the correct mailaddress
-> Should you use hotmail: don't! get a googlemail, web.de, whatever instead

We've had some issues with hotmail in particular. Not sure why.

What do you expect from a Microsoft free mail service?

Can't say that about this post of yours, sadly.

Technical reason for my statement: A mail service that vanishes mails without a bounce isn't email by definition (see the RFCs regarding SMTP).

Microsoft has a very draconian filtering system. They silently discard emails from unverified domains and also in some cases if you don't have Sender Policy Framework enabled (which you don't seem to have for havenandhearth.com).

Contact their support - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/get ... cale=en-us
they will tell you the exact reason.

Or just don't allow people to register with hotmail/msn/live/outlook at all. Would be better all around ;)

Silently discarding email = not RFC compliant
equals to
Hotmail ≠ email
just don't allow people to register with hotmail/msn/live/outlook at all. Would be better all around ;)

This.
