I want to add a bug in bugzilla, and I must register before. When I try, my ask seems to be accepted, and I have the message: To confirm the creation of the user account xxxx.yyyyy at zzzzz.fr (my mail address), use the URL given in the email you will receive. If you take no action in the next 3 days, this request will automatically be canceled. The problem, is that I never receive this mail. I look directly on the webmail, and I'm sure not to receive it, even in the spambox. When I try to ask for a new password, the system answers me that this account doesn't exist. When I mail to wineHQ.org, I receive a mail from wine-bugs-bounces[at]winehq.org where I can read this: Do not mail wine-bugs directly. Please post in Bugzilla at http://bugs.winehq.org/. How can I make my registring action completed ? I don't know how more to do [Crying or Very sad] Thanks A+
I have tried again to create a Bugzilla Account, the transaction is complete, and I have the message that I must answer the mail I will receive, but always no mail... Can a webmaster answer what I can do to register to bugzilla ? Thanks A+

Sorry, but as I said in my first post, the mail isn't in the junk box (that I called spambox). To be sure, I looked for my mail with the mailbox. A+
ok, I send a mail (I think I already made it, but not sure ...) Thanks A+
JujuLand46 <wineforum-user at winehq.org>>Hum, I never wanted to have a gmail address.Not required to access WineHQ that I know of. I've been with Earthlink for years and I don't want/need a gmail.com address. Are you asked to get one when you sign up? It may be that Wine has banned your ISP because they are a known to produce a lot of spam. We don't need/desire/require that stuff.

It works for me, it works for plenty of people. There are other mail providers out there, register an address with one of them (gmail is a very good one, once again there are others.) and try the bugzilla account creation procedure again. As jeffz said, you may change your email after that.

As >jeffz said, you may change your email after that.Why go through all of this? Unless an ISP is blacklisted, Bugzilla should be able to register to any e-mail address that meets the RFC standard. If the ISP is blacklisted, a warning message should display that confirmation messages will not be sent and the account will not be activated. No need for a new Bugzilla user to wonder. It may be the ISPs problem if confirmation messages are deleted upon receipt. The OP should not need to create a second account just to get on Bugzilla only to find that their original account is unacceptable to Bugzilla. This is what appears to be happening. James McKenzie

The OP should be able to ask if WineHQ.org is blacklisted. I would be very surprized if it is. If this were true, creating a second account and switching to the first would result in any follow-up messages being eaten. That does not solve the problem that the OP wants to overcome in the first place. Again, Bugzilla should pop-up a message if the OPs primary domain is in the blacklist stating so and the OP should contact their ISP to see if WineHQ.org is on their blacklist or has to be white-listed to allow traffic through. The OP should not have to create any further accounts in order to access Wine's Bugzilla and receive mail from it. James McKenzie
Hum, I first want to say that I haven't wanted to open a troll. Secondly, I must say that I have register without problem on winHQ forums. But I don't know if it's the same server and mechanism to register. I don't think that my isp (orange.fr) have banned Bugzilla IP address (but who knows), because the spam filter seems just to route spam to a spambox, and seems not to delete it. And I have a lot of spam mails in the spam box( about one hunded in a day). But for sure, after having deleted all the spam in the box, and register to Bugzilla, no answer in the spambox, nor in the receive box. I suppose too that my isp IP isn't banned by Bugzilla, because I have a message giving me the info that my registration will be ok when I will answer to the mail I will receive. I suppose that Bugzilla would send me an error message in this case. I'm going to register with another address (same provider) to test. But I surely don't want to create a gmail box to do it.[Wink] I test it A+

What exactly do you have against GMail? It's a very good mail service, and you definitely don't have to use their online email checking thingy if that is what bothered you...
