AT&T email networks are not allowed on this forum!

[Ranch Dog]

AT&T and their networks continue to create issues for this forum. The AT&T networks are still rejecting the user email notifications as spam, bouncing them back to the forum mail function. Despite the hours I've spent trying to correct the issue they created and the money I have spent buying the SSL certificate, they continue to reject emails. I will run a final test this evening (09/25/15) at 10 pm and if the test is rejected, I will ban the following AT&T networks: att.net, ameritech.net, bellsouth.net, flash.net, nvbell.net, pacbell.net, prodigy.net, sbcglobal.net, snet.net, swbell.net, & wans.net.

No further user registrations from AT&T network email accounts will be allowed. You can use any other email provider to register.

Existing users that have AT&T network email addresses listed in their user account will see this message the next time you login.

You will need to update your user account to a non-AT&T email provider before you can log back in. You can also make the change today and avoid the issue.

Well I guess that answers a lot of my questions.DAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. I just got done, going into my att account and telling it that this was not spam, and I got my email verification and here I am. If I get this again I will change over to my Gmail account. Thanks RD.

I see you changed the email from AT&T. I looked before I answered you post, I would have told you that it is going to be a hassle every time you login unless you do.

The use of AT&T email accounts is not allowed on this forum
AT&T never replied to my request so I've set the forum up not to allow the use of any AT&T network email addresses during registration. Further, existing users with AT&T network email addresses will have to change to a non-AT&T email address before they can participate here on the form. This is not on me but on your email provider. They have created a huge workload and cost for me that I'm not willing to put up with anymore.

It is your provider that is causing the issue
If you are an AT&T user please understand that attempts to use that email address will fail. You are not going to receive any attempt to reset your password or any response to your "Contact" request because your provider is blocking it. On my side of things, all emails from the AT&T networks are automatically reported as spam and deleted. Same thing that AT&T is doing to me.

Tapatalk is on the chopping block as well
Tapatalk was allowing the AT&T users through yesterday and I think I have plugged that hole. This is a heads up that Tapatalk is on the chopping block as well as is subrogates my control of the forum. It will be replaced with stand alone device app. This work would have already been done had I not wasted an entire month of my time with AT&T. Now, I'm shooting for the end of October. I'm running the app, "air", on my test forum and it works very well and maintains all the features of the forum, something that Tapatalk doesn't, plus it is ad free.

Hey, I thought you did real good. You saw a problem no one else did and let me know about it!

The AT&T & Companies issue might be on its way to a resolve. A bit hit and miss right now. I have lifted the restrictions on registration but understand that if you are not receiving emails, there is nothing I can do about it. If you don't receive anything back from me as a result of a contact request, it is because your provider is blocking my effort to reply.

My server host has taken on this issue with AT&T as it is beyond my resources to resolve.

Thanks for your efforts! Even if I'm not affected.

This has finally met a resolve.
