email not sending
Hello, I have an activation link, that is sent via email during registration. For the most part it works good. However on and off I've been getting several complaints of people not getting their activation emails. Any reasoning as to why?

As for many reasons why.
People can have there spam option set on high so that basicly means they will hardly receive any kind of mail @ all.
Second of all use XHTML to send out mail. Altho i could give you guidelines for sending out mail i will not give any at this point for not being sure that you are going to abuse it to send out spam mail. However most legit mail can be send to your users and having them receiving it by using valid XHTML.

You know, spammers are quite crafty these days. In my old Yahoo! account, I've recieved numerous "gibberish" emails when I check them on a text only client. If I were to check it out via the HTTP interface, it looks just like Spam. They're whiting out text! Urgh. HTML in email causes lots of problems, methinks.
