Nope, I received a test message to my main account at lycos almost immediately. It seems hotmail may be blocking our mail now.

Brez, if you want to use an uppercase GSA e-mail then I reccomend you do not use hotmail as it is clearly removing the case from all email registrations there. (as well as delaying or blocking our mailserver)

Yup, it appears hotmail is the server that is changing the case on email addresses and is also blocking our mailserver. I can do nothing about either.

I can reccomend Lycos: http://lycosmail.lycos.com/lycos/Index.lycos (used with Firefox and flashblock extension)

the forums translate every single email address into lower case letters

Let me re-emphasise that this is NOT the case. (pun intended

)

Finally tech stuff I know!!!

(take deep breath, use a calm yet dignified voice)

Yes, hotmail does not recognize the difference between upper and lower case letter.
They assume everything is in lower case.

Thanks for confirming that Hexx.

NP, I know you like to handle most of the tech stuff yourself, but I feel if I can help with the difficult stuff
I might as well pitch in.

would be nice if you could just delete that login completely from the game server at will.

I have not received the activation e-mail yet. I suspect our mail server is on the fritz again. But so far, this is definitely looking like a Hotmail issue and not a Dynaverse.net/SMF/OCI issue.

I have banned hotmail accounts on my SMF forums since they do not receive the activation emails.

Its not just d.net, it also has happened on both of my forums.

Well Fruck hotmail then. They pissed me off good when they stopped allowing attachments. That's when I moved to lycos.

Yup.

I stopped using hotmail a long time ago. I use g-mail and my own personal domain email.

Like I said, I actually banned *@hotmail.com as an email address since people didn't get activation emails or announcements.

gmail gives me the creeps. Two year long beta invitations only system? Yeaaahhhh riggghhhht...

I don't trust that one bit, not one bit. Definitley underhanded social datamining. I wont even consider gmail until they give up on that creepy habit. Lycos allows open free registrations, they have no problem with it, there is no reason that google cannot do the same.
