Description (last modified by Matt Boersma)

The activation email that is sent after registration is sent from 'webmaster@localhost' which encourages some spamfilters to treat the message as spam.

This looks as if you were simply not aware of the settings posted above.

I think he's referring to the Django website itself, which apparently has not allowed anyone to sign up since last week's move. See here:

I'm not sure if the problem is that Trac sends the account confirmation email from "webmaster@localhost," which is then eaten by spam filters, or what. But I've tried four times since Sunday to create a new account, using two different email addresses, and I have not received the confirm email for any of them.
