Hi,

I have signed up to some social media sites today which require validation from emails for account activation. All worked except Twitter whose emails do not seem to be coming through to admin@...

I ended up using my personal email account to activate the account and changed the email back to admin@... at which it said another email has been sent to that account, but again, I can't see it.

Any ideas please? I put This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. in the whitelist already.

Thanks!!

We get so much spam from email servers pretending to be twitter.com would not surprise me if the server is blocked. I would need to know what IP the twitter.com verified emails are coming from.

Assuming they use the same domain for all verification emails you are good to go with this:

You said you used your own email address to get it verified, what is the header of that email and the IP of the originating email server.

The email header states that the email originated from that domain.

I have removed the block for now, the block could go back at anytime depending on the spam twitter send the server

That's done the trick! Thanks!
