New User Activation E-Mail

Some have not been receiving their email activation notices (no idea why). If you have not received your email in about 10 minutes after registering, something is wrong. Please PM me with your username if this happens. Thanks!

I activated your id Smile

This is happening on my sites, and a few others that I know of (both nuke and other cms) and seems to be mainly to users who have AOL, Hotmail, Msn or yahoo email addresses.

That was from June 6, 2003. You expect me to remember that Laughing

? I was having email problems with my ISP. Download my Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login!. That allows you to activate them by just clicking on the link yourself.

Not to chime in here but I found when coding NSNYA that the email headers are not correctly formatted. they use

Code:

\n

AOL and those others will trash the email useless the headers use

Code:

\r\n

which means the Your Account file needs to be updated to use something like:

Code:

                $from  = "From: $adminmail\r\n";


                $from .= "Reply-To: $adminmail\r\n";


                $from .= "Return-Path: $adminmail\r\n";


                mail($user_email, $subject, $message, $from);

instead of

Code:

                $from  = "From: $adminmail\n";


                $from .= "Reply-To: $adminmail\n";


                $from .= "Return-Path: $adminmail\n";


                mail($user_email, $subject, $message, $from);

I have posted about this elsewhere in the past. The RFC requires '\r\n' but most servers are not 'strict' and allow '\n'.
