Hello,
I tried to search forum but could't get true answer.
My Host says my domain DNS is correct.
I use GOOGLE APPS to manage email on my site.
The script cannot send emails to users with two (dots.)
eg. [email protected] <-- two dots
eg. [email protected]
eg. [email protected]
I click "Re-Send" activation email in my admin. still no email. not even JUNK folder has nothing :S
My personal gmail account also has [email protected]
---------BUT!!
user @ live.co.uk <-- two dots see ?
and guess? IT WORKS!
I don't know whats the problem with script refusing to send emails on some accounts or unpopular mail clients too ? eg. HushMail.com etc...
This is very serious if a user wants to buy a premium account!!
I hope there is a solution to force all emails to send

if you own the server
then check the settings of your email settings (i forgot the name at this moment)
i use cpanel and i can config a lot of setitngs against spamm
if my server cant verifie the email adress (callback) then it refuse to send
same as hello request
if the email does not contain a helo request then it get refused
and so there are a lot of settings to prevent spam and to verifie the user existing
that can give problems with a . in the email adress
as the server cant verifie user.name
when it need to verifie [email protected]
the thing you can do is to disable all your email settings and then try to enable 1 per 1 until it refuse to work again
then you are shure what settings are doing that , and if you sitll want to keep that spammfilter then you need to put them in whitelist (going be a lot of work)
it solved for me a lot of problems by disabling a few security settings as i wasnt getting a single email from my websites
hopely this can help you to

do your provider take care of the dns ?
or do your server handle as a dns server ??
if your provider takes care of a dns server then the emails have nothing to do with your server (probaly differend dns server )
if your dns is on your own server then you need to setup the email configs
i never used google aps for emails (i basicly hate google after they banned me because they say that i do clickfraude on my pr3 proxy :'( )
if the settings are correct , then i cant help you with it , maybe you can ask google for more help about it as everything get taken care of with google aps ??
or to make it even better , change the settings to your local server for that site only , and dont take any third apps to take care of it
that can solve a lot of problems to

Hello im back again.
After 30days of trying to find out the issue.
I'm out of ideas.
This is the serious issue.
1.User registers
2.Site says go check your email for activation link
3.User did not get such email even after many hours
4.I check my admin panel (XFS) the user is there but not activated.
5.Admin panel says other emails are activated & ok.
6.Why ? most emails are Hotmail,Gmail (mostly!),Yahoo.
7.This is a serious problem because i have people who are DJ's who want to host their files , & they say they're scared to buy premium because of activation no email.
//. I use GOOGLE APPS to manage incoming email & application SENDS email using Google apps ( CNAME etc )
// my host tried SPF record for google. no difference.
This happens everyday eg. 5 new users per day but 3 don't get activation mail.

atleast 30-40% of users dont know how to do email activationFZee wrote:Any kind of spam really. My point is to just to have mostly geniune people on the site , i don't care if there's two/three auto registrations happening. We all get spam one way or another.
i run a vbulletin forum & i see 20-30% of users are not activated, bcoz they dont bother to do email activation; emails do reach properly
+ thr r tons of ppl who do typos in their emails
email activation is not a fool proof way to getting geniune users , ur missing atleast 20-30% of new users
That's true i guess. ( i don't care to the ones who do typos , it's their problem )
PS. Could i ask an admin what's the best way to SELECT all people who are not activated & just delete them.
I wish the scrip had a check box in the admin so i can one-click & clear.... & there also some people who haven't logged in the last 90/120days ....
