Hey everyone, It seems a lot of people are having issues verifying their email when first signing up as they are not receiving the email.
This is because around 20-30% or emails sent from admin@feddit.uk are being bounced due to being marked as spam. I’m working on fixing this at the moment, (the domain is on a domain blacklist on spamhaus.org)
In the meantime, please send an email to admin@feddit.uk from the email that needs verifying and I will verify the email manually which should resolve the issue.
Thanks, Tom
Gmail marked as spam. Found it in there and could verify then
Emailed and turned around within an hour or so. What a legend. Thanks friend.
A friend of mine is trying to register – says he’s emailed the admins twice but not heard back…
Did you purge the bot accounts @tom@feddit.uk ? Can see a material decrease which is actually good
Haha yeh i did there was around 3k bots accounts which I found and purged hadn’t liked or subscribed to any communities and their email was a distinct pattern
Thanks for the vigilance - most seem to just be joining and staying quiet. They’re like a ticking time bomb.
Just want to say - that alone, I hope, isn’t automatically an assumption of them being a bot. I rarely comment on threads - the only reason I’m even commenting now, is so that I can show that I am, in fact, a human.
Trying to send mail from a domain registered in the last year is a nightmare. I get why ESPs have to be strict but it definitely puts an unfair burden on new businesses and organisations.
