Ryan,
Have you checked the mailserver logs? That might tell you if certain
ISPs are rejecting the messages, and may give a reason.
Sometimes ISPs will reject a message if the sender's domain doesn't
match the domain it's coming from. You can set up your mail server to
authenticate with and use Gmail's SMTP servers to send mail. This
"how-to" gives an example of how to do it with msmtp:

Yes, several people don't seem to even get the messages in their spam or junk folders.
And I don't see a way I can say "confirm this user's email anyway".
For now, I've disabled email confirmation on the wiki. This won't help if you
need to reset your password (so still email me your account info and I can take
care of it) but should let others get started easier. Also you can try a new
account with a different email address, such as Gmail.
Hope this helps.

Perhaps the spam filters killed the messages? When I checked the headers, I'm
seeing X-Spam-score of 9 or 10 from the confirmation emails
([email protected]) and password reset emails ([email protected]). I
received both messages fine, and they didn't land in my spam/junk folder.
Perhaps other people might have had those messages land in their spam/junk
folders? Assuming the messages left the oregonstate.edu server.

Alisak.

Yeah it should be sending an email, showing as coming from [email protected]
but a few people aren't getting them.
Send me your account name (here or the above gmail) and I can reset your
password manually.

I have tried editing the Code4lib wiki several times, but keep getting a you
have not confirmed your e-mail address message.
I then go to the Preferences page and try to do so. I am told that a
confirmation code is being mailed to me, but no mail ever seems to arrive.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
