Original Thread here: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=104420

Hello All,

Its been a long discussion on this topic with everyone.,
Still max of user Registrations, who use yahoo/hotmail accounts receive Forums Registration Verfication Emails in there Bulk mail / Junk Mail Folders only on there yahoo and hotmail accounts.

I am unable to control this now, I had to delete around 29 users, since last 7 days, who were unable to verify those emails.

I want to change foll. Details, for Users Awaiting Email Confirmation Group.

When a mail is send to those users, it goes with the foll. details.

From Name - XYZ Forums Mailer
(I want to Change that, and just keep XYZ Forums)

From Email Id - xyz@xyz.com

Subject - Action Required to Activate Membership for XYZ Forums
(I want to change that line, and keep it. XYZ MemberShip Confirmation)

And also, when these Group users, get an error while replying to any of the threads, i want to display a message to them, that they need to confirm there registration by checking there emails. etc. etc. )
please let me know where to change those above details.

Regards,
Sandy...

Now the registrations emails will only show yourdomain.com in the from field.

The subject line phrase is $vbphrase[activateaccount].

The current version had the word Forums in that phrase. I removed it, but this is one H___ of a problem! I suspect that the main reason that all this mail is going into junk mail folders or bouncing altogether is because the script is running under user: nobody

I've tried to get an answer to this, but Vbulletin says it's not their problem - it's a PhP thing. On my server, Perl runs just fine as a user name and all email carries that name. PhP appears to run as nobody and thus all the mail is junk by today's standards.

Edit: Installed phpsuexec - got rid of nobody - still have users complaining!

Users Awaiting Email Confirmation - is CHOCK FULL! - Damn Spammers - look what they have done for us!

Edit 2: All confirmation emails to yahoo.com and hotmail.com go into the bulk and spam folders. Anyone have ideas why we are hitting the spam traps?
