Description
Hi
My spamscanner added 2 points to the registration mail from redmine.org:
Symbol: MISSING_TO(2.00)
This should be trivial to fix and improve deliverability a lot.
On IRC there are regular complaints about registration mails from redmine.org not being received and this might be (part of) the problem.
Affected version is whatever redmine.org is currently running. I think as a non-admin I can not see which version exactly this is.
I can confirm that, but it's specific to redmine.org. A regular redmine installation doesn't have this problem.
- Category changed from Email notifications to Website (redmine.org)
This is related to redmine.org only.
As redmine.org runs Redmine 4.2 now, the BCC recipients option should be disabled. It was entirely removed with #30820 as it has no useful purpose now that we send individual mails to each recipient.
@Jean-Philippe: Could you disable the "BCC recipients" option on redmine.org?
- Status changed from New to Resolved
- Assignee set to Marius BĂLTEANU
- Resolution set to Fixed

I did it, the option is now disabled.
Hendrik Adam, can you retest, please?

I never completed registration for the account I tested with.
I tried re-registering with the same email address and it wouldn’t let me.
But logging in with that allowed me to send the activation email again and that did have a "To:" header.
So while this issue seems fixed, two new questions arose:
- do unactivated accounts ever expire when not activated? Would that possibly be a feature to implement? I opened #38541 for that
- better completion of usernames might be a good idea, because I don’t think Hendrik Adam was involved at all here (; I’m Hendrik Jaeger, so (at)hendrik vs (at)henk and it seems not possible to find out the nickname/login-name of a person without opening their profile (which is easy enough but still a step more compared to a better completion or a popup when hovering over a username e.g. in the "updated by $user" heading of a comment) I opened #38542 for that
Fixing this ticket might help with #37512 and #37453
- Status changed from Resolved to Closed
Closing this as the original issues was resolved. For the other points mentioned in #note-4, you have already opened new issues which appear to be answered already.
