Yahoo mail acounts cannot receive any coppermine emails (ecard, registration,)

[bb3]

I am using coppermine 1.4.20,

I tried to register an account using yahoo mail as my profile email but i canoot receive any confirmation from the admin. I also tried to send ecard to a yahoo account but nothing has been received.

But when i tried using hotmail and gmail everything works fine. The problem is almost all of my potential registrant are using yahoo as their email account but they cannot receive email activation code.

I'm thinking that yahoo is blocking all of the emails from cpg because they think its a spam. Is there any fix on this problem? Thanks

everything seems to be fine for me except that my gallery cannot send email to yahoo users

thanks.

[Nibbler]

Yes it can. The problem is that Yahoo is not accepting them. Either check the logs of your mailer daemon (if you can), check if your server IP is on any blacklist, ask your webhost or ask yahoo.

hi nibbler,

i don't know how to deal with this, my site is only 1 week old but i am already black listed under 3 blacklist name

SPAMCANNIBAL   Listed   LISTED   blocked, See: Detail

what can i do with this problem. thanks

[bb3]

and here's another thing,

i tried to email my yahoo account using my server account (uname@redlens.org) but i was able to receive it.

[Joachim Müller]

Your ISP IPG-AS-AP Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company/AS9299 is UCEPROTECT-Level3 listed because he is responsible for a total of 5977 abusers on the net.

Pretty self-explanatory, don't you agree? Complain at your ISP or find a better one who has a stricter anti-spam policy.

[bb3]

yes i was just thinking if there's other way

by the way thanks joachin.

[bb3]

here's the thing,

i can send mails using my email account (the one that i am using in coppermine) to any email account BUT;
when "coppermine driven" mails (like e-cards, notifications, registrations), my yahoo account is rejecting it. i tried to send ecard to my gmail and hotmail account it works fine. but not in yahoo

[bb3]

maybe an edit in the mailer.inc.php will do 

because only coppermine generated email is being rejected by yahoo. i can send mails to my yahoo mail using my account and i can receive it so i think coppermine has something to do with it...

[bb3]

Is there a mod that will bypass spam filter?

[Joachim Müller]

That's a contradiction in terms: a secret mod that will allow an email to bypass spam filters - that's something the spammers would really be fond of if such a "genuine" tool existed.
Generall speaking: avoid HTML emails, send plain text emails.

[bb3]

i checked my mailer daemon and there were no error messages or bounced messages

[bb3]

hi i am using google apps as my email provider (admin@redlens.org)

does anybody here knows how to make gmail as my smtp server??

[Joachim Müller]

Ask Google, not us.
