- Try to use a real email server rather then the machine's onboard smtp server. Some anti-spam programs check to see if the sending IP and the senders email server (indicated by the sender's domain MX record) match up. If they don't, then it marks the message as spam. - To avoid mistyped email addresses, make the user enter in their email twice, and verify that the two email addresses match. - Include a form on your site that would give a user the ability to have their confirmation message re-sent. (That way you don't have to do it.) This has cut-down on about half of our support calls. Hope this helps! -- Warm regards, Jordan Michaels Vivio Technologies http://www.viviotech.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Purchase from House of Fusion, a Macromedia Authorized Affiliate and support the CF community. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=34 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:182772 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
