mushroomz Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Hello. I just want to make a notice for other members using Hotmail. If you've registered for this forum using a Hotmail email, it will take hours for the validation to get to your inbox. And sometimes it doesn't even get through even if you resend the validation many times. This is because Hotmail has spam filters. So your best bet is to use a Yahoo or Gmail email, the validation code will be received instantly. Anyway, just a warning. I personally waited too long for my validation to get to my Hotmail inbox and just made a new account with a Gmail email. Hope I don't get in trouble for making a new account.

Ashoat Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 We're talking about outgoing mail, though. Usually, different servers (services) are used for outgoing/incoming. I restarted the outgoing mail server, try now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I agree with mushroomz. Hotmail seems to be the only email provider that gets problems like this. Like gmail and yahoo, it doesn't happen with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demi:Pulse Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Yeah, Hotmail's spam block is a little... overkill, so to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
