Guglielmo Celata	Thursday 13 May 2004 12:26:18 pm Hi, I am using ez 3.3.5 on a red hat 9, with php 4.3.4 and sendmail. Problem is, after a user sends the registration form, it <i>some times</i> happens that no email is sent to him. What is happening is that a blank user is created as a guest (no name, no email address, nothing), and a draft, correct version of the user appears in the admin's drafts list. Sendmail tries regularly to send the two registration confirmation emails to ... well, none. The maillog follows May 13 20:12:32 site sendmail[10094]: i4DICVAA010094: from=apache, size=570, class=0, nrcpts=0, msgid=<200405131812.i4DICVAA010094@site.domain>, relay=apache@localhost May 13 20:12:32 site sendmail[10097]: i4DICWec010097: from=apache, size=636, class=0, nrcpts=0, msgid=<200405131812.i4DICWec010097@site.domain>, relay=apache@localhost I guess this is similar to the problem raised by Stian Lindhom in http://ez.no/community/forum/developer/not_receiving_user_account_activation_email "Most users get the mail but some are complaining, I've tried registering accounts with a few different email accounts myself, but only been able to reproduce the problem for one ifi.uio.no-account." In my case, I am surprised by the fact that this seems to appear almost randomly. Anyone has an Idea?

No could tell me why unfortunately. Hopefully maybee someone now has an idea why. PS: I was actually working within the network at ifi.uio.no. Cheers Tore

Hi,
I am using ez 3.3.5 on a red hat 9, with php 4.3.4 and sendmail.
Problem is, after a user sends the registration form, it <i>some times</i> happens that no email is sent to him.

What is happening is that a blank user is created as a guest (no name, no email address, nothing), and a draft, correct version of the user appears in the admin's drafts list.

Sendmail tries regularly to send the two registration confirmation emails to ... well, none.

The maillog follows


May 13 20:12:32 site sendmail[10094]: i4DICVAA010094: 
 from=apache, size=570, class=0, nrcpts=0,
 msgid=<200405131812.i4DICVAA010094@site.domain>,
relay=apache@localhost

May 13 20:12:32 site sendmail[10097]: i4DICWec010097: 
 from=apache, size=636, class=0, nrcpts=0,
 msgid=<200405131812.i4DICWec010097@site.domain>, 
 relay=apache@localhost

I guess this is similar to the problem raised by Stian Lindhom in

http://ez.no/community/forum/developer/not_receiving_user_account_activation_email

"Most users get the mail but some are complaining, I've tried registering accounts
with a few different email accounts myself, but only been able to reproduce the problem for one ifi.uio.no-account."

In my case, I am surprised by the fact that this seems to appear almost randomly.

Anyone has an Idea?
