Forum (activation) email issue
Hi,

I just want to bring to your attention an issue I have been experiencing with trying to register an account here.

My first attempt (account name "fearworksmedia") was using my mail.com email address, and I tried several times to receive the activation email but it just never came through. I have now created this account using my gmail.com email address, and I notice in Gmail that the activation email is flagged as "not encrypted".

Generally this means (afaik) that the server sending it and connecting to gmail's servers was not using a secure connection (TLS/SSL) but used a plain unsecure connection. I'm guessing that mail.com's servers simply refuse to speak to servers that don't communicate securely so it just never accepts the SMTP communication from sentora's mail server, whereas Gmail is a bit more tolerant (although I believe not for much longer).

This shouldn't be too hard to fix - I can set up an SSL certificate on my Sentora servers in about 5 minutes and configure Postfix to use secure communication so I never have this issue.

Just thought I would give you a "heads up" - if anyone says they don't receive Sentora forum emails, that's probably why.

Keith.

RE: Forum (activation) email issue
We are aware of the SSL issue, but thanks for narrowing it down to be on specific servers. I don't have root on our site server, but have plans to get it setup with out server tech.
