Signing Up With A Hotmail Address
« on: December 20, 2010, 11:37:00 AM »
I signed up with a hotmail email address, and as warned didn't receive my activation email, but when I requested for it to be re-sent it came through to my junk email folder.  I dunno if this is normal or in anyway helpful but just thought I'd mention it.

Yeah MS does not like emails from this site. Its not XS that is causing the problem.

I'm surprised it even made it to your junk mail box. Most of the time, they just never arrive since MS had some sort of block on emails from x-s.

surprised it came through too ... the MS mail servers normally don't let our forum mailserver connect to it.

When I had mine setup to send to a hotmail address the only time I would gt notified was when they were doing work on the hotmail server or somethingand I guess they had the blocks turned off or something.
