Issue with Hotmail and VBulletin...
Posted by pimpfelix, 09-02-2008, 07:09 PM Hey Guys... For months now i have been having problems with new users not receiving there activation emails if there address is a hotmail.com address.. Can someone please help me out... I cant figure it out.... my website is .com Last edited by Sheps; 09-03-2008 at 08:14 AM. Reason: Self-Promo Type Situation
Posted by Hastings, 09-02-2008, 07:30 PM 1) Why's this in the VPS forum? I highly doubt it's related specifically to the VPS. 2) It's probably just the fact that Hotmail hates PHP-Sent emails. Assuming that the email is just going in to the spam box and that it's not actually completely not delivering, try to configure vBulletin (I've never looked in to this before so I apologize that I don't know the specifics) to use SMPT rather than PHP. If it's not even going in to the spam box, then chances are that the IP or Domain are blacklisted @ Hotmail for whatever reason. Best of luck figuring it all out.
Posted by pimpfelix, 09-02-2008, 08:33 PM I've tried using smpt and it is the same thing... The emails do not go into the spam box...they are just not delivered... If I send an email from my hotmail account to my website email address then send an email from vbulletin it works fine...
