Why is SL not accepting certain e-mail providers for their blog sign up? I use msn for e-mail and when I tried to register so that I can comment I got this

From: someone
"You cannot use that email address to signup. We are having problems with them blocking some of our email. Please use another email provider."


This is rediculous!!!!

It's not SL blocking MSN, it's MSN blocking SL. To be more precise, it sounds like MSN have blacklisted SL in some way and aren't letting mail from SL through.

I get e-mail from SL all the time...I don't want another e-mail account, I won't check it so why bother. I won't get their e-mails anyway.

Is it SL being blocked or is it wordpress?

Ok...FYI if you e-mail wordpress support (through the sign up page) they can create your account for you with your e-mail.

At least they offered to do so for me.

We've had a lot of problem with hotmail and yahoo accounts blocking emails from Linden Lab, so we've tried to encourage people to use other mail accounts.

I have lots of gmail invites too! Happy to send you one. :)

Oh, it gets even worse! Even if you have an e-mail they will accept - even if you SUCCESSFULLY create a personal Blog that you don't want...

THE SL BLOG STILL WON"T ALLOW YOU TO COMMENT!

Odd. I registered *without* a blog, and posted a comment without problem. Later I went ahead and made a blog 'cause I'm a nutter...

Go fig.
