So we are off to a horrible start. People kept trying to join, but nobody was getting in. O think I identified the problem. I was using an old school approach to sending email. A lot of services consider that spam. I have updated the system to use a full fledged SMPT email service.
Registration email is now sent from registration@thisdomain.com
I have also added a Contact Form in case the problem persists. The contact form does not depend on email to get messages to me. Thank you for putting up with this stuff as I get my internet brain working again.
Never give up.
Never surrender.
Retreat only to flank.
