Topic: Registration Email Not Received

I think this problem started when I migrated to a dedicated server. Local SENDMAIL is working fine because I am able to send out emails from Wordpress.

Firstly, someone emailed me telling that they did not receive email containing their password. I thought it might ended up in spam folder. Then I tried registering a dummy account, I too did not get the email. Checked SPAM folder, also not there.

I have the Verify registrations turned on. SMTP server address, username and password are blank.

Any ideas?

Oops sorry. My bad tongue

It's http://www.raymond.cc/forum/

I've also tried entering raymond.cc's own smtp, username and password, still it wouldn't send the registration details sad

Hey smartys.
What makes it go to the spam folder? Does this mean any site I build this will happen. And... er... is there anyway of stopping it. tongue

Nope. Not unless you figure out what methodology the likes of Google/MSN/Hotmail, (and you'll be the first if you do), big_smile use for weighting/blocking mail.

That is weird! I swear that it didn't work earlier today. I've also gotten 2 emails complaining about it.

I did a search and I read something about this today and I made the changes.

* Dns resolved raymond.cc to 75.127.71.130
It wasn't able to resolve the IP address to hostname.

So I ask my webhost to do the PRT changes and it worked now smile
Thanks! Great support and forum script.

PTR. big_smile If you think you may have any uncertainty with DNS in the future, the best course is to just use the I.P address of the smtp server.
