This is a new domain on an IP that was fairly recently assigned to it. All main email providers blacklist anything that is not gmail, outlook or aws by default. Nothing I can do about it, other than becoming part of the problem and paying them to host this instance's email.

I created an account yesterday, and didn't receive an email. When trying to log in, nothing happens, but the page receives a 400 error.

You're right. I've tried sending an email and it arrives to my personal server, but gmail outright refuses to even accept it. Will have a look on how to solve it.

Thanks for your reply, so it's a gmail issue after all :/

I too have tried to sign up to no avail. I just never receive any emails for verification. I've used both gmail and a custom domain on Google workspace (actually thinking of migrating that to mailbox.org or protonmail)

I used proton mail and had no problem signing up

I have some bigger plans for email setup, but will still have a look at a more thorough setup. Don't have an ETA, unfortunately - life stuff is a big busy at the moment.

No worries at all. I'm patient :). As a former sysadmin and current Cloud Systems Architect, I understand. I'm going to migrate one of my domains off of Gmail to a new host to trial it and I'll try using that email once I get that done. Thanks for hosting this because I don't have the time to currently. :)

Wish I'd seen this earlier. I signed up with a Gmail account >_<

[–] Illecors@lemmy.cafe 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

All unverified accounts a wiped after 24 hours. You can try again once that's passed.

[–] spiff@lemmy.cafe 1 points 2 years ago

I appreciate that. :) I was able to move a domain over to protonmail and it worked this time for me. Thanks!

Host my own email as well and received it just fine.

[–] Illecors@lemmy.cafe 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, same here. SpamAssassin checks content, while the big providers simply run a whitelist that only really has other providers as the first gatekeeper.

Children, this is why we use proton.me

Gmail is such garbage
