lol, Sabretooth AKA dislexialis :D

Sabretooth is going for that master coder ;)

:D Does this really work? I'm very curious.

I've no idea, but I've installed it anyway.. :p

You don't know how many emails I've gotten about users "losing" emails when I'm almost positive their mail provider put it in the junk or bulk folder. So frustrating.

You know what, if it'll save me from answering those emails, you've got yourself an install ;)

It's an automated process. Every time one of their users blocks notices from your board instead of actually managing their mail settings it's a strike against your domain IP. If enough users block you AOL will black list you and then inform you about it a week later when stuff starts bouncing. I'm seeing more and more sites stating they do not accept AOL, Netscape, or Excite addresses being used to register with because the activation notices simply don't get through. Of course those that subscribe to these services rarely understand that their email is being censored rather than filtered. I think I've been blacklisted by AOL about 7 times now. (sigh)

Yeah, it's amazing how many new users register on our boards but never click the link in the confirmation email to confirm their registration. I have even had some friends who signed up to the board tell me that the registration email ended up in their junk folder. (sigh)

I think however i can test this by installing this hack, then re-sending the confirmation email to the users awaiting email confirmation. Maybe if i see that some of the finaly confirm it will show that it's working for some of their mail servers...

Only the first half of this hack need be installed.

There is no point trimming the version that goes into the mailqueue, as when the mailqueue is executed each mail is passed to vb_send_mail anyway, which is where the first half of the hack already does the trimming :)

Sure the second trim() would simply be ineffective, but that's reason enough to not bother telling people to put it in ;)

Er, maybe I could've worded that better.

All mail ends up going through vb_send_mail, so you only need apply the hack there (the first instruction above).

Does this help with Yahoo then? As they seem to automatically put ANY automated emails into the spam folder.
