Civinfo - View Single Post - Emails to yahoo btinternet or btopenworld

I'm afraid that anyone with a yahoo or btinternet.com or btopenworld.com email address will not be getting any emails from the site, and anyone attempting to register with one of these addresses will most likely not be able to.

BT Yahoo have upped their anti-spam measures, and have decided to totally reject emails from forum software (and many other websites) before they even deliver them to your bulk or junk email folders. Great policy!

Occasionally email has made it through - you can try putting webmaster@civinfo.com into your trusted sites in your Bulk email settings at Yahoo and then resending the registration email by clicking here.

I and the web hosting company are trying to petition against this, but to no avail so far.

If you are registering, you could also use another address (your ISP should give you one when you signed up). Existing users can also easily change the address used by this site to another one. If all else fails, sign up for a free Google mail account! You can change your email address here, and as soon as you change it a new activation email will automatically be sent to the new address.
