Darn old AT&T email still bounces back

Bob · 01-19-2006, 09:34 AM

AT&T email servers still do not accept Forum generated email - this means that new members registering using an AT&T email service will never see the automatically generated email with the password needed to login.

My guess is that AT&T see the emailed content 'your password' and has decided to block ANY email with that text.

So, sad to say, if you've registered using an AT&T email address, you'll never see the password, and will not be able to log on to the forums.

Two choices - You can send me a note, and I'll try to get you the info manually, but if you'd rather not wait for me, use a different email account for registration.

Sorry about this..

I am sorry to say that this AT&T issue still exists. (Darn).

A reminder - If this is a problem you're encountering, you really have only two choices:

1) Register with a non-AT&T email address (no other email service / server blocks the Forum's email)

b) Send me a note - I usually get back to you within half a day (sorry).

I'm seeing a few of these bounced AT&T emails each day - darn (actually I'd guess the folks asking the Forum software for their password have a different phrase in 'mind'? :humm: )

Send me a note if you're having this trouble with your AT&T email service.
