Re: email validation on registration: does anything additional need to be installed?

posts: 21

well, that's a fair question. donotreply is not actually an address defined, however the domain is real. I also tried a valid email @live.com, which gives me the same result.

So that said, Do I need to have a valid email, and does it have to be on the domain that tiki is created on?

Sorry for replying so late, but in the meantime I decided to start over with tiki 3.0. FWIW I get a different message now (You will receive an email with information to login for the first time into this site) but the email never comes still, with both a valid email and donotreply.

One thing I like about the tw 3.0 installer is that it tests a php mail on installation. The test was successful in that it sent a mail to info at tikwiki.com, so now i know that the server setup is not causing any abnormalities. I noticed there are a lot of forum posts about this behavior that i'm getting so i'll read though and see if i can make some progress. thanks!

ok, i'm back to tw 2.2 and I installed postfix configured in the 'internet site' option with the domain being my domain name. I've tried the registration test as myemail at live.com and with admin at mydomain.com, where mydomain is the fully qualified domain name of the server that I configured in postfix, and myemail is my actual email at live.com. Both say 'You will receive an email with information to login for the first time into this site', but no email is received. I checked my spam folder as well.

I do not get the failed validation messages anymore. I believe you were right about the validate email server checkbox, Ricks99. I saw your bug about it not recognizing valid email addresses and made a comment in there.

So I'm back to looking outside of Tikiwiki for an answer. Maybe I need to build some kind of mailforward with my hosting service and try again
