Hello all.
I have a potential issue I wanted to run past you guys, to see what you think. I am running vBulletin 3.6.7 PL1 and have users require email confirmation set to ON.
I had a user sign up today, who created an account, and was posting within minutes. Fine I thought, but about half an hour ago, I got 3 failure messages. One for the confirmation email send, one for a PM someone sent him after he signed up, and another for his welcome email.
The details of the message failure were:
Action: failed
Status: 5.5.0
Diagnostic-Code: smtp;550 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable

So this says to me that he never received these emails, yet he still activated his account and was able to post.

My question is, if my thesis is correct, how in the name of zeus's butthole did he manage to activate his account and post?

Any thoughts gratefully received.

TIA

J

EDIT: and I have checked the admin logs, to make sure that the other admin hasnt been playing me about....
