Error: I don't get the activation email (Comcast or AT&T)

Post by 12bar »

If you don't get the activation email (usually after a few minutes!), the system mailer was not able to deliver it. There are two common reasons:

1) the registration email is marked by your email-program (i.e. thunderbird) as spam (or "junk"). In this case simply look into your spam folder.

2) your email server is blocking the mail. Some email services like AT&T, RR or Comcast block registration emails because they think it's spam. In this case, you can either contact your email provider ( i.e. http://att.net/blocks ) or use another free email service like Gmail, GMX etc. There's no way to manually activate an account, the password is encrypted (even for me!) and you need a working email address. I can't even contact you, because the block all mails from my server.

I regularly delete non-activated accounts and those who never logged in to free the database.
