    Hi experts,

    i have a issue with my mail delivery..

    whenever users register, they will get an activation link..

    now since the mail is not delivered, many of them are unable to register...

    i knew that the exims use greylists when they dont recoganize and make my mailserver wait for a time and expecting my mailserver to retry..


    is there any way i can add my mailaddress to the global whitelist(anything exist like that)? so that my mails will deliver within seconds?

    Registration confirmation e-mails with activation links are unreliable.

    I'd recommend using a combination of recaptcha, human question/answers, and other mechanisms to confirm that registrations are real people and not spam bots.
