Hi, I just realized that my previous attempts to join the fediverse via Mastodon or Lemmy where just blocked by my choice on the mail provider. I never got any confirmation mail neither in the inbox nor in spam, tested with multiple servers, mask addresses. Just right now tried it with my Gmail account and got the mail instantly.
Guess this could be a problem for many new users trying to join us.
I guess the confirmation mails are send directly from the different server instances? Maybe they don’t have enough reputation yet to come through outlook filter?
I’m running a kbin instance (just me on it so far) and my email setup has spf, dkim and dmarc setup and Outlook still puts the mail in spam because of the tld. Most lemmy and kbin nodes have the funny tlds and so will suffer this too.
My mail to Outlook does definitely arrive though.
