Pro Admin Registration email error "Sorry, but this e-mail address is invalid"

Post by jamesgoodchild March 20th 2012, 6:23 pm

First topic message reminder :

I've just kicked off a board and have started testing with a couple of people before I roll it out to the club that will be using it. The very first external test user trying to create an account on the board encountered a problem with his email address. I put in one of my spare emails just to make sure I didn't have a setup issue and it took that ok. When I go to change it, I get the same message my test user got, "Sorry, but this e-mail address is invalid".

I did a search of the forum archives and there was a thread on this from Feb 17th 2012 by aowlthd that is now locked, otherwise I would have posted to it. aowlthd posted that he couldn't get a email address ending in .NET to work.

Unfortunately where I live, the bulk of the email addresses are <name>@sasktel.net as that is the provincial telecommunications provider and the dominant player in terms of email addresses. Can you please check to see if there is a problem with .net email addresses on your spam appliance? If there is, I may have to drop this board and go to some other solution as I can't asked 80% of my club members to create new email addresses and that percentage is the people who have a <name>@sasktel.net email address.

Hey Leeloo

Thank you for sorting the original problem I had on my site, but I have another user now trying to register - they are getting the 'invalid email address' message again, I've tried registering them with a spare email address and changing it but it won't work.

If you wouldn't mind having a look, thanks.

Forum is www.kitchenwitchhearth.com

email that is getting the invalid message is @myfairpoint.net

Many thanks

I face the same problem. Some users say that their email appears invalid, even if it's working.

The only solution I found till now is to create new email. Anything else?

Address is http://histarch.forumgreek.com/

Thank you in advance

Hi,

My forum (http://www.clancaos.net) also does this when I am in the Administration Panel trying to change a user's email.

Please help, constantly getting "invalid email" error.

I'm also having a problem with this on my forum.
http://www.soaps-n-lotions.com/

One member contacted me and she was able to register using her personal email but not her business email.

Which looked something like this....
info@business-name.com
with a hyphen between the two words of her business.

I had her register with her personal email which did work thinking I could go back in the admin pages and change her email that way. But I got the same email she did that it wasn't a valid email addy. Even though I copied the email addy directly from the properties page from the email that she sent to me.

Hi krissyND303,

Unfortunately, that entire email address is being rejected.
We have a special script that checks emails with well known spam-knowledgebases, which will reject the domain 'business-name.com' because it suspicious, even just hearing & seeing it as an email.
That script also has lines to forbid the registration of common starts of address, for example 'admin', 'info', 'complaints', 'legal' 'assistance', 'help' and many others.
The user will have to use an alternative email. Sorry.

Thanks for the update Darren I appreciate that. I can completely understand why you have it set up that way. There are just way to many spammers. I happen to know this one is a legit company (they supply many of the members on my forum their ingredients for their home business) so I don't think she will mind continuing to use her personal email to be a part of the group. At least it's not a glitch then!!!

Pro Admin Unable to access new forum

Post by Elessar May 10th 2012, 2:56 pm

I set up a forum yesterday. After playing around with the forum, I decided to start over. Probably not the best decision and I probably could have reset enough to make the original forum work, but my vanity combined with my ignorance pushed me beyond my reason. I started over and then attempted to delete the original forum. Only this I have managed was to lock myself out the forum and not it's sitting there idle. How can I get the first forum killed/deleted?

A member of my forum says she created new mail and still no result. Does it have to do with firewall maybe or any other programm running?
