Emails not being sent

Postby Smeegle » Wed Oct 26, 2011 8:24 am

Hi Mods.

I haven't been recieving any e-mails (topic replies, ads etc) since 13/10/2011, and I would just like to bring to your attention someething that could be the problem.

In my control panel, the email options are duplicated:

Could this maybe have something to do with the problem?

Thanks!

Thanks for that, I've been handling numerous new registrations where users havn't received their activation emails. We'll look into it.

The first time I tried to sign up on sareptiles I was on hotmail, and I didn't recieve an activation email. Then I got myself a gmail account, and I recieved the activation mail. Does this site not respond to certain kinds of email accounts?

Nope, should work with any email address, once it's left the server it's at the mercy of the internet until it get's to your email server.

I'd just like to add that it took me a really long time to find out where I could contact an admin to sort out my registration problems. I eventually found an e-mail address that I could use in a topic called "registration".

Forgive me if something like this exists and I just overlooked it, but I think it'd be a good idea to put a message saying "If you are having problems registering, contact an admin at admin@sareptiles.co.za" or something on the home page.

@ Froot
Have a look at Hetzner in Germany. I think a server will cost +- R2k per month.
