The mods could disallow this post, but I don't know how I can reach them.

The "forgot password" thing doesn't send mail. I created a new a/c and didn't receive activation mail either (btw, I have no problems with my email). There is no contact link on LET site (except a twitter thing which I don't use). Finally I got a thought of finding a contact on LEB site (and there it is) and posted a ticket regarding this. The ticket is created but didn't have any mail from that too (usually with ticket URL), and updated the ticket and still no response, its about 2 days now.

The chances of myself being banned on LET site not possible, as so far I have only created 1 thread there and didn't do any violations (as always I am   :) )

Anybody could create a thread on LET and ask them to check their mail functioning? And tell them there is no easy way to reach them (even a simple contact form would do, even if it says like "we will read only 1 mail a day, so don't mind posting").

Or, anybody could try the "forgot password" link there and check whether you get a mail or not, but I don't want you to take a risk on this for me (as you would loose your current password and what if the new one doesn't work) and you could be on the same situation as me. :)

Could also get on IRC and ping Spirit or mpkossen, they lurk both #vpsboard and #lowendbox, I do believe.

Your email provider is probably blocking email sent from LowEndTalk's dirty IPs .  The site's 2 mx record IPs 23.94.24.50 and 23.94.24.51 have been on a Spamhaus SBL since May 5th  (that 23.94.0.0/15 range has had 139 SBL listings in the past 9 months).

Reading the title I figured they botched a configuration, but this is fucking hilarious

LET email notifications have been broken basically 90% of the time the forum has been up in my experience. :p

I use gmx.com email and don't have any problems receiving mails (the same email is used for vpsboard and I am getting mails). So, as you said the problem is LET/LEB mx IPs are on spam black list (yes, LEB too has the same IPs, in fact it is LEBs IP being used for LET).

I guess they don't run any shared/vps hosting, mailing lists, etc with LEB domain, so how come it could be abused? Probably other clients of colocrossing are the culprits, as the entire range is blocked.

The only solution to the problem of being blocked is the wide acceptance of ipv6 and every person connected gets a unique IP always. So the abusers can easily be blocked and only them. Needs a new revolution with DNS, email, etc;  we are still using 30 years old system.

Hello,

I attempted to activate my account there yesterday and never got the confirmation email. Trying to resend it several times did not help. I messaged an administrator and they manually took care of it for me.

I have sent mail to colocrossing NOC & abuse email contacts, that is the only thing I can do.

The IP is also listed on apews.org.

Probably they shouldn't run a mail server and start to use gmail.

My email provider is GMX.com and used by thousands I guess.

I don't know how you messaged them, which I can not when I am not able to login. Some one told to IRC @mpkossen , but I have never been to IRC.

Since they (CC) refuse to unfuck their spam blacklists, the least LE* could do is use Amazon or any of the reputable mail providers for their outbound email so it actually *works*

If they did that that would be them acknowledging that there is a problem, :p

I was able to sign in without the confirmation email. I was not able to post or reply, but I found the first administrator from the rules thread, sent a private message, and they activated my account manually.
