I still had my bookmark set to beastlords.demonshouse.net. After updating it to beastlords.org as adviced in the latest announcement i can no longer login. I tried the 'forgot your password?' link but im not getting a confirmation email, the same thing that happened when i originally created my account.
Help would be appreciated :)
Thanks in advance

I dont think it likes your unusual e-mail address :-P
you have another you can use ?
Unusual email adress? what's so unusual about
[email protected] ?
Well i created a new "usual" alias for my email adres and tried to register. Same problem, not getting the confirmation email
ill check the smtp server...
and im not sure how well php was desinged for
[email protected], wasnt sure how well they coded for it to pick up...
smtp server seems to be working, and got my confirmation e-mail from the server...
but it was filtered out as junk, are you sure your ISP/e-mail client isnt filtering it ?
I don't see what would cause the problem, I've sent kash & myself an e-mail through the board, and then registered a dummy account as well, and it's all working... I think your ISP or client might be filtering it out thinking it's spam..
but will still look into it
Lemme check my mail box. I get lots of bounces from a *.nl domain recently.
Could be the ISP i suppose, and if it is i don't know what to do about it. On my side im filtering out the usual "make $$ fast" and "get your penis enlarged" messages, but i doubt you've got that in your subject line for a confirmation email :D

I found the problem.
the problem is your mail server located at smtp.chello.nl is on no less then 4 different RBL lists.
See http://openrbl.org and type in "smtp.chello.nl" in the IP or Hostname Field. You will see what I mean.
We do subscribe to blacklists.
You need to get a hotmail account or something to get the email message.
thanks kash for looking into it :-)
I wouldnt have found that
There is more. Looks like smtp.chello.nl is also refusing connections as noted below in the headers. I have removed "Coprolith" email address for his privacy otherwise the header is full and intact. Coprolith feel free to take this header to your ISP for review.

So if i understand correctly im the victim of overzealous email blocking on both sides? yea gods.
A'righty then, i'll see about getting a free email account somewhere else.
Any chance of transferring my post count once i register again? :P
