Mail Issues Resolved, New Users Please Read
willfeIf you happened to sign up for a new account recently here, you probably didn’t get the e-mail the site claimed you’d be sent because of a strange bit of misconfiguration between my server and Google Mail’s servers. For once, it actually seems like the goof was on their end. That, or postfix has suddenly gotten even more paranoid about DNS name resolution for MX records (smtp.gmail.com turned into an alias for the real server, instead of actually being the server, or configured for round-robin).
Anyway, the mail queue, such as it is, has been quickly clearing out now and mail’s finally being sent as it should be. I’m finally getting notifications for all the commentary going on at Your New Geek: Care and Feeding Guide, so anybody who actually signed up for an account here should finally be getting that mail so they can actually finish their account setup.
Sorry about that, everybody!

Check those spam folders
When my registration came through Gmail marked it as spam, so people should be aware that they should check their spam folder for the registration password…
It’s probable that if your using shared hosting that someone else on the same server (hence same IP) has been marked as a spammer and hence your registration requests get treated as spam also.
Not Shared Hosting, But...
Actually this thing’s hosted off a cable modem (scary, eh?). Dedicated server. Dynamic IP with nearly-instant dynamic DNS updates (not through DynDNS, though they’re useful too), with SSL-based SMTP to Google Apps for Domains for mail. The source IP is still shown in headers though, so it could well be marked as spam if someone else used to use this IP or netblock for spamming.
You must be mad lol
I’d never try anything like that, I’d want to preserve my precious bandwidth lol
