Unable to deliver activation e-mail to afmetcal addresses

For some reason the afmetcal mail system will not accept the e-mail sent out with the account activation code when registering.  It has something to do with the subject line content.  I am looking into this and will get it changed so this doesn't happen in the future.

I only found this out when trying to manually re-send this message from Outlook.  This allowed me to receive the return mail and see the problem.  When registering from the website, that message is not sent from a regular e-mail account, so when that one gets kicked back, it ends up in e-mail limbo forever.  I never see it.  

It has also happened to some other folks, so if you have trouble registering... please send me an e-mail and I'll get it fixed up!

Jesse,

I'm not sure about the AFMETCAL email system previously, but I just signed up and had no problems from my AFMETCAL address.  I do know that we've been told that all email sent to .mil addresses needs to have at least three words in the subject line to keep the email filters from blocking our mesages.  It depends on the webmaster at the base in question, but some have done that to keep the spam filtered out.

Looks like a great website with quite a bit of info available.  Keep up the good work!!

I did make a change to the subject line of the activation e-mail and I assume that fixed things.
