Greetings!

Admin, if you're noticing alot of signups that never activate, here's why.....

Oct 17 15:16:01 b sendmail[32348]: k9HJFwWG032348: ruleset=check_mail, arg1=<bfarber@www03.pdaden.com>, relay=[65.254.54.98], reject=553 5.1.8 <bfarber@www03.pdaden.com>... Domain of sender address bfarber@www03.pdaden.com does not exist

the domain you're claiming to be, www03.pdaden.com, does not exist...

[root@b mail]# host www03.pdaden.com
Host www03.pdaden.com not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

so alot of mailservers do:
reject=553 5.1.8 <bfarber@www03.pdaden.com>... Domain of sender address bfarber@www03.pdaden.com does not exist

I run my own mailserver so put in an exception for your domain, but in general us admin's don't want to recieve mail from domains that don't exist (most of it's spam)

-----------
To fix, not sure if it'd be this simple, but...
in your autoresponder page for the forum, put your email address in as something else (I think bfarber@pdaden.com should work).

If that doesn't work your host needs to have www03.bfarber.com put into DNS (probably reverse dns while they're at it)


Anyway, not to cause any trouble, just trying to help out!!

Now on to checking out your site, and thanks :)
