You seem to be unaware of the fact that unsigned emails can be trivially
spoofed? From what I've read, the openmoko servers do not seem to look at
SPF records so there shouldn't be a problem.

Re: Cannot reply to the email with YES_I_DO so I have ordered again

2007-07-16 Thread Justyn Butler

I am and it in fact turns out that simply specifying the reply-to address as
the email used during ordering works fine too. I have now used this method
to cancel my original order.

There were a few issues that made me decide it would be less hassle to
re-order:

1) I would have had to spoof email all further communications, which would
be a pain (as it turns out just setting the reply-to would have worked,
which isn't such a big deal).

2) I needed to change the order because I originally ordered two phones -
one for a friend - but he backed out after the are you sure email.

In fact I got this from the Web Shop when I eventually canceled the first
order:
Most likely you either asked them to cancel your order, or it was
neccessary as part of a change (we can't change orders, we can only
cancel them and you can place a new one).

So it would have been the only option anyway.

Cannot reply to the email with YES_I_DO so I have ordered again

2007-07-14 Thread Justyn Butler

I accidentally originally ordered my OpenMoko using the email
[EMAIL PROTECTED] when my email address is actually
[EMAIL PROTECTED](explanation:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gmail#United_Kingdom).

Mail sent to @gmail.com rather than @googlemail.com still reaches me, but it
will not allow me to send from @gmail.com.

I assume it is because of this that when I contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] with
[rt.internal.openmoko.org #] I get an error RT could not load a valid
user, and RT's configuration does not allow for the creation of a new user
for your email.

So I just get an error when I reply and say YES_I_DO to the email asking me
if I'm absolutely sure I want this developer preview. Rather than try to
spoof the @gmail.com email address, I am ignoring that order and have placed
another one using the correct email address.

I hope that if I now cannot get a phone from the first batch I will be given
an opportunity to cancel rather than wait another month for more to be
manufactured. I also hope I don't receive two orders!

Justyn.

I had a similar issue (I used a @pobox.com address which just forwards 
to gmail on my order). Setting the Reply-To: on my reply to the address 
I ordered from seems to have worked.
