So some spam signups just happened (all [email protected] format e-mail) This caused bounced mail to increase, causing Mailgun to block our domain to prevent it getting blacklisted.
So:
- Mail temporarily doesn’t work
- I closed signups for now
- I will ban the spam accounts
- I will check how to prevent (maybe approval required again?)
Stay tuned.
Edit: so apparently there is a captcha option which I now enabled. Let’s see if this prevents spam. Registrations open again.
Edit2 : Hmm Mailgun isn’t that fast in unblocking the domain. Closing signups again because validation mails aren’t sent
Edit 3: I convinced Mailgun to lift the block. Signups open again.
I was trying to open my account just when lemmy.world was closed earlier. When I pressed the button to create it I only got and enless “charging” animation. But when it reopened, I just started the process again, and was as easy as a breeze and extremely fast. Glad to be here! (and this is my first post)
