Zombie users after registration.

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=<[email protected]>,
relay=apache@localhost

May 13 20:12:32 site sendmail[10097]: i4DICWec010097: 
 from=apache, size=636, class=0, nrcpts=0,
 msgid=<[email protected]>, 
 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?

Hi

I do not have any idea. But I constantly got that problem when making an script which automatically registred users (import from external system).. 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
