Yep, here I am again.

I have some members that didn't get a activation e-mail. Mainly hotmail users, but in another case also a normal provider adres (@scarlet.be). The hotmail members didn't receive the mail in the trash folder.

Is there something wrong somewhere in the script?

I do have had the Akismet (Spam Protection) plugin installed. But when it started banning members for just putting down a website (http://www.xs.to is a image dump website) I turned it off. Could this caused the problem?

And can you somhow configure the Akismet plugin how it reacts besides the 2 things you see in your admin CP?

You can extensively configure Akismet to how it reacts in the ACP -> General Settings -> Akismet

Ok, but could the receiving activation mail problem be linked to Akismet?

Not a chance. It's either ending up in their bulk or they're not seeing it, or it's a Server problem.

Darn it. My AdminCP doesn't work. Something wrong at my webhost.

I'll take another look at it when my adminCP works again. It's so weird that they don't receive the mail.

I know for a fact that my AOL email address has difficultly receiving email from any sort of forum script. It's worth checking what email host the people who are having issues are using.

EDIT
I before E, except after C

No. The activation email is a common issue. I believe that the problem has to do with web email service providers.

Well, that is weird, cause these members didn't have any problems on my old forum .............

I registered in your forum and got the activation code immediately. I used a pop3 email account. There was no problem.

N.B. Registering in your site is too difficult because of this image verification thing which is totally unreadable.

Well, pop3 also isn't really the problem. It's more hotmail accounts that have the problem. But I think not all hotmail accounts. Thats the weird part of it.

Hey, I didn't create it I think its ok though.

@MrDoom: Do you know if hotmail (live mail now or something) also has a problem with forum script e-mails?
