Email verification issue? READ HERE (self.feddituk)

Hey everyone, It seems a lot of people are having issues verifying their email when first signing up as they are not receiving the email.

This is because around 20-30% or emails sent from admin@feddit.uk are being bounced due to being marked as spam. I'm working on fixing this at the moment, (the domain is on a domain blacklist on spamhaus.org)

In the meantime, please send an email to admin@feddit.uk from the email that needs verifying and I will verify the email manually which should resolve the issue.

Thanks, Tom

HEADS UP

Using a yahoo email address (yes they still exist). I found if I added admin@ to my contacts and then did the password reset that the emails came through and worked find.

I had literally no emails from feddit.uk before that they didn't hit my inbox so I couldn't report as not spam. For anyone signing up now, it might be worth adding admin@ to your contacts before you try.
