I was joking about the incompetence of course. Have you thought about automatically banning 'temporary' email addresses? Allowing only email addresses like "Gmail" "Hotmail" or "Live"?

Myself, I always maintained an ad hoc basis, not implementing large lists, since that'll only lead to a lot of people whose ip is banned. Most of the spammers are smart enough to use changing ip-addresses, emails and accounts anyway.

Project HoneyPot and StopForumSpam have solved most of the "work arounds" the spammers are currently using. They're the forum version of MacAfee or Norton. And we don't want to blanket ban anything because some people have good reasons for using temporary email accounts.

Hey, as long as none of it involves someone shooting me in the face, I'm happy! Seriously: nice to see you're doing good work! Thanks!

I can't find any settings to do with notifications, only the registration settings, which are "By admin".

Check port settings.
The board software uses port 25 for SMTP by default, but your host may use a different port, or may force SSL/TLS.

It's set to use the local PHP mail function, so no port setting required.

You're assuming that the host has php.ini setup correctly... Which I've found they frequently don't.

I set it up myself, and I've used PHP's mail function lots of times for other things on the same server.

On Monday I'll create myself a few puppets and see what happens to the mail.

Pappa, Obie didn't get a notification either.

I think we've worked out the issue now.
