Over the past month, a lot of you have contacted me that you didn’t receive the activation email to confirm your account and eventually sign into the site. I tested it and for all my email address the confirmation email always arrived. But over the last week, I did some digging around and it turns out it wasn’t just spam filters (Many cases it was) But certain ISP’s rejecting the domains email address or server IP from the beginning of January.
Anyway, this has been now finally corrected as the email system is now via Sendgrid.com. So if you never got a confirmation email please sign up again. And sorry for the hassles!
On another note, the disappearing forum posts from the anti-spam countermeasures should also be fixed. So everything should finally be okay.

Are you sending via PHP or SMTP? If PHP, try changing to SMTP. There’s a WP plugin called ‘Postman’ that facilitates the change pretty well and is completely free.
If you don’t have any luck with Sendgrid, try Pepipost. They’ve done alright by me.

I tried via SMTP instead of PHP, but that didn’t help, so far with Sendgrid I’ve had 100% delivery, nothing has bounced yet. Before around 30% was bouncing. I’ll keep Pepipost in mind if I do have issues.
