Gmail Blocking Joomla Notifications

Post by sariel » Tue Oct 23, 2007 6:13 pm

I tried to register the account sariel on the joomla forums and stupidly used a gmail account so I did not recieve the activation email.  Recently Gmail has started blocking certain ips via spamassassin, which recently blocked myspace ips and I assume, Rochen Ltd is in the same position.  I have tried a secondary email address to create this temporary account which went through instantly.  So something to be aware of. 

Anyone available to activate the account for me?

Did you check your gmail spam folder?

AFAIK Gmail do not delete emails, even if they are spam. As for gmail using spamasassin, I've not heard of that one, I thought all their spam filtering was done on their own systems.

Email me the @gmail.com address you used, or just leave it, up to you. BTW do you want me to rename this account you now are using?

There was a typo when you registered the other account ;)

So, how about this, I delete that one, and then rename this one to the sariel username??
