Activation Email Dying Silently

My problem seems pretty basic.  I'm using the registration wizard and selecting both the "welcome email" and "activation email" options.  The welcome email comes through, but the activation email dies silently.  I'm in debug mode and no errors are generated.  All of the rest of the functionality works, including the redirect on success.  The user is being created in the database and the random key is being generated.  It is just the email that is not being sent.
At first I thought it might be because my data formats in my database weren't correct, but I saw Guenter's tutorial and set my data formats to be the same as his.  That didn't help.
I'm using MAMP (and therefore Postfix) on Mac OS X.  I've tried using the PHP 4 and PHP 5 option.  Doesn't seem to matter.
Any ideas what might be going on?  Any help is appreciated.

Now we're getting somewhere!
Okay, so I feel like an idiotic for not checking the spam filter, but (thankfully for my ego) that isn't the problem.
Based on your other suggestion, I changed the "Body" drop down in the "Main" tab of the Send Email behavior to "Write Content" instead of "Retrieve content from file."  I just put in some dummy text and voila, both the Welcome email and Activation Email sent successfully.  Yeah!  Of course, that doesn't solve the problem yet, but I feel like we're making progress.  Here is the content of the activation email template:
<html>
<head>
<style>
.heading {border: solid 1px #000000;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h3 class="heading">Account activation.</h3>
<p>Hello,</p>
<p>You received this message because you registered to our website. You need to activate your account first, in order to log in to our website.</p>
<p>Your username is <strong>{kt_login_user}</strong></p>
<p>To activate your account, click on the following link:<br>
<a href="{kt_activation_page}" target="_blank">{kt_activation_page}</a></p>
<p>To log in to our website, click on the following link:<br>
<a href="{kt_login_page}" target="_blank">{kt_login_page}</a></p>
<p><strong>Site Owner</strong></p>
</body>
</html>
Again, I haven't changed anything.  This is the default template.  So I decided to try to figure out what in the template was breaking it.  First, I deleted all the variables from the template and the email sent correctly.  I then began testing the variables one by one to see if they were causing a problem.  It turns out the kt_login_page is the problem.  When I remove that, everything works correctly, including the activation link.  I'm now going to try to figure out why that is.
The login page on my site works fine and is a valid URL.  If worse comes to worse, I can just delete that link.  I really just want them clicking on the activation email at that point any way.

    how do i delete icloud account on my ipad when my apple ID is non active email and i don't know the password and can't reset password without active email

    If the iCloud account you are trying to delete is old ID that was later updated to change it to your current ID, you can go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now, if desired, you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How does it usually take to get the activation email after receiving the invoice receipt?

    Hi all. I'm doing the develop enrollment. I received the invoice receipt 3 days ago, which says apple has received my 99 dollars. But I'm still waiting for the activation email. It should take no more than 24 hours to get the activation email, right? if I click "Program enrollment" in this page(https://developer.apple.com/contact/), safari will tell me there are too many redirects and can't open the link. What should I do, please?

    I got my activation e-mail rather quickly; however, something is wrong with my Developer enrollment (I registered as an individual and it says they are trying to verify my identity to see if I can act on my company's behalf--which does not make sense because I registered as an individual).
    Apple has my $99 too and I also am unable to contact them due to the same redirect problem you are facing.
    I am wondering if there is a recent bug on their site that needs to be addressed (seems like it is getting caught in a loop while trying to verify the device and/or browser).  I have posted a question as well so let's hope this gets resolved soon.
    Not a smooth way to start :-/

  • Can I insert the name poperty of the RequestedByUser related object of the parent Change Request workitem in a review activity email notification template?

    I am working on a SCSM change control workflow driven by email. 
    A lot of my work is based on the information found in this post:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/servicemanager/archive/2012/04/03/using-data-properties-from-the-parent-work-items-in-activity-email-templates.aspx#pi158453=4
    This is an excellent post to which my Internet searches continually return. The workflow is about 90% complete. 
    My question is can I insert the properties of a related object of the parent workitem in a workflow email notification? 
    For example, I want to include the name property of the RequestedByUser related object of the parent workitem object in a review activity notification.

    Thank you for your reply.  I have confirmed my template is using a projection that includes the parent workitem and requested by user.  Where I am having trouble is the notification template syntax used to call the properties of the related
    object of the parent workitem.  The picker in the GUI won't show that related object, so I have no example to follow.  I hope this reply makes sense!

    I have set up my server to relay emails and it works ok      I use a linux server and  cpenel and outlook expres as my mail client...... I configured an email account in my cpanel called     admin @mysite.com      I used the automatic configure outlook express to configure outlook    
       I can send and recieve emails to and from my Yahoo account using my yahoo adress to [email protected]     and I can send emails from outlook ex using     [email protected]     to my yahoo email
    I then created the user registration pages for my site with email activation .........
    All wen well then I tried to test and got the following error ....
    Developer Details:
    E-mail couldn't be sent. Error returned: Failed to connect to mail.mysite.com:25 [SMTP: Failed to connect socket: Connection timed out (code: -1, response: )]. (EMAIL_FAILED)
    So I looked at my email settings in my control panel........      I have tried every possible combination of information to get it to work and I still get the same error
    I have tried     
    mail server      mail.mysite.com                                    This is the same info that is described in the manual settings for my email config in cpanel
              port       25
       username     [email protected]                               This is the email account I set up in cpanel    web mail

    nothing works
    I can find nothing to help at all on the net

    And it still does not work
    I still get the same error

    I am lost
    Any help would be great
    Have a great day
    oh one thing........ any idea why you cannot search withing forum topics anymore ...... ?
    Cheers

    So Mysite is your ISP.  They should be able to describe on their website what settings you need.
    (1) Mail Server - the name of their mail server ([email protected]?)
    (2) Port - you may need to specify the actual port to be used, I know I do.
    (3) Username - The user name you use when you log into your Mysite account
    (4) Password - The password you use
    Both username and password are case sensitive.
    This information should be on one of their admin pages for explanation.
    Sorry, this may not help you much.

  • When can I expect the activation email (iPhone dev)?

    Hi,
    Very excited to submit two apps I've been working on in recent weeks for AppStore consideration.
    I've already registered and made the $99 payment, and am awaiting what I'm assuming is an activation email. Any idea when I should expect to receive mine?
    Thanks!

    how did you make the payment? All I got was an email saying:
    "Thank you for submitting your information.
    While we process your information, please visit the iPhone Dev Center to download the iPhone SDK and access a wealth of technical resources. Please note, the iPhone Developer Program will initially be available to a limited number of developers and will expand in the coming months.
    Next Steps
    You will receive notification of your enrollment status. Enrollment ID XXX"
    is there anything I can do but wait?

  • No iOS Developer Account Activation email for more than 6days!

    Hi everyone,
    I have purchased the iOS 1 year Developer Account, and received the INVOICE RECEIPT email telling me that I will receive the activation email within 24 hours.
    However, I have not received the second, activation email with my activation code.
    Have any of you experienced the same problem?
    If you know the solution or origin of this issue, could you help me?
    Thanks a million in advance!

    Well over 48 hours now for me. I spent 3 weeks checking every few hours if enrollment was back online and now I'm having to spend additional days waiting for activation D:
    They sure didn't have any trouble taknig my money though
    Edit: So I managed to get hold of someone at Apple and apparently they have a problem with their internal systems that means none of the enrollments are accessible to them, or something like that. There is no ETA on a fix. Probably looking at days more.
    Apple really have handled this whole process smoothly

  • An active email account in Outlook is required to set up iCloud

    I have just installed the iCloud windows desktop tool it can see that i have contacts and calendar enteries in Outlook but doesnt reconsie that i have active email accounts working through outlook.
    I have 3 email accounts running through Outlook 2 that are POP and one that is using the outlook connector for hotmail.
    Any suggestions???

    I don't think it will sync POP accounts. Follow the link in this reply, hopefully that helps.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16356002#16356002
    My current workaround looks like this:
    Set up GMAIL account(s)
    Forward POP account(s) to GMAIL (and us IMAP)
    Set up Outlook and iPhone to use GMAIL IMAP accounts
    Use iCloud (if I can ever get it to work) to sync calendar and contacts
    I tried Google for calendar and contacts, but the free version only allows one calendar. For contacts, I had to use the business version (not free) and it doesn't play well with iPhone/Outlook cagegories/folders.
    Hope that's helpful.

  • No link in activation email

    I am trying to set up my account on iTunes, and having a problem with the activation email. When they send me the email and it says to "Click the link below", there is no link, just "Verify Now >". Is there another way to activate it without email or what?

    You've entered [email protected] as the contact email address for your Apple ID. To complete the process, we just need to verify that this email address belongs to you. Simply click the link below and sign in using your Apple ID and password.
    https://id.apple.com/cgi-bin/verify.cgi?language=GB-EN&key=YzUxNGE3YzEyZTJhZTU3O WFmNWJmZDZjZTRjMTBjOTE3MzkyYzEyYjM0ODZjYjg5NzdkY2YzNjExMjlmM2VmZmYzNGViYzMzY2NjN mUxZTQyYjhjYWI3MDFkNTRlZDAxZDIxMzlmN2FhMTE2MGI4YTgzYmM0NzkzNzE1ZTMzYzQzZmRkNzkzM mNjNGViMzZhMzA3ZTA2MTAxOTNiY2M4NDEyODc3NGUzMzJlNGRmYTVhODc1Y2I4YWY2MzYxY2IwNTkzN jdkNzEzMmZkZGJkMzQ3Y2QyY2JjNTlhY2ZkYmE=
    Wondering why you got this email?
    It's sent when someone adds or changes a contact email address for an Apple ID account. If you didn't do this, don't worry. Your email address cannot be used as a contact address for an Apple ID without your verification.

    I'd go with the activation email myself. I don't like
    CAPTCHAs; the
    poorly implemented ones tend to look cheesy, and even the
    well-done ones
    can be gotten around. Read the section on Circumvention, and
    the links
    on Defeating CAPTCHAs:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAPTCHA
    A couple things I've noted:
    - I haven't run into a bot yet which will start a session, or
    which has
    javascript enabled.
    - The number of people who surf with javascript disabled is
    in the 1%
    range.
