If the user has spam protection enabled for their yahoo and hotmail accounts the registration email will get blocked. It will happen with aol sometimes too. In the past I have disabled registration with those email accounts to force people to use a more legitimate email address. You can also make a news story about turning off spam protection before registering.

Read the header of the mailer-daemon (returned email) it will usually give a reason. My host gave me a domain that had been that of a spammer at one time and all my emails were getting bounced back. I got the host to give me a different IP.

If your not recieving bounced emails then go with TheosEleos suggestion. Those emails are most likely going to the users spam box or /null/dev this is al real problem since there are several lists and many people refuse to accept email that doesn't originate from an ISP which puts domain owners in a real pickle.

/modules/Your_Account/language

Edit your language file. Do a search for, "You will receive a confirmation email with a link to" and change it to your liking.

You can log out of your site and test it to see if you have changed the right line.

If its still not working give this a try.
Download the patch files and over write the ones on your site except the modules/Your_Account/index.php
http://www.nukeresources.com/downloadview-details-789-Nuke_6.6-6.8_Patched.html
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/nukepatched/66-68patched/

Check your config.php and modules/Your_Account/index.php make sure the protection line at the bottom of config and top of index.php is like this:
if (eregi("config.php", $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])) {
Header("Location: index.php");
die();
}

if (eregi("modules.php", $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])) {
Header("Location: index.php");
die();
}

Check that this file exists images/admin/code_bg.jpg too and its not images/admin/code_bg.png or something

Posted: Wed Nov 03, 2004 10:09 am

Original index.php

if (!eregi("modules.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
die ("You can't access this file directly...");
}

Original config.php

if (eregi("config.php",$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
Header("Location: index.php");
die();
}

Then you didn't use these files http://www.nukeresources.com/downloadview-details-789-Nuke_6.6-6.8_Patched.html
If you did then it would look like this:

if (eregi("config.php", $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])) {
Header("Location: index.php");
die();
}

if (eregi("modules.php", $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])) {
Header("Location: index.php");
die();
}
