trac email failure

[wichert]

Apparently this trac now requires one to verify ones email address. This is very useful, except the verification email is send from donotreply@pylonshq.com, which is a non-existing email address and as a result does not make it past my spam filter. The relevant exim log entry is:

2011-02-15 10:29:02 H=pylonshq.com (Snacktime.localdomain) [46.4.29.185]:46192 I=[82.94.255.193]:25 sender verify fail for <donotreply@pylonshq.com>: response to "RCPT TO:<donotreply@pylonshq.com>" from aspmx.l.google.com [74.125.77.27] was: 550-5.1.1 The email account that you tried to reach does not exist. Please try\n550-5.1.1 double-checking the recipient's email address for typos or\n550-5.1.1 unnecessary spaces.

Please make sure that the (envelop) address used to the verification email address is a valid existing address. It is ok if that address simply discards everything send to it - there just has to be an MTA willing to accept mail for it.

Apparently the address is used for all email from this trac instance, not just verification emails.

We will migrate webob bug-tracking to the bitbucket's issue tracker as soon as all webob tickets are closed. This might still be an issue for the remaining Paste projects, but give this was filed against webob, I'm closing this as wontfix.

On a side-note, I've created that user, so sender verify should be fine now.
