BOINC 6.10.58

WXP Professional x86 Edition, Service Pack 3, (05.01.2600.00)

I hope it's ok to post my problem to this form :)

I'm trying to attach to the project: malariacontrol.net

I already have an existing account at: malariacontrol.net

I of course have the same e mail and pass word for all 16 BOINC project that I'm attached to.

So I just need to Re Set that password at malariacontrol.net so that I can attach to: malariacontrol.net

so: for resetting my password.

1) If you know your account's email address, and you can receive email there:
Enter the email address below, and click OK. You will be sent email instructions for resetting your password.

Email sent
Instructions have been emailed to: xxxxx
If the email doesn't arrive in a few minutes, your ISP may be blocking it as spam. In this case please contact your ISP and ask them to not block email from no_reply@malariacontrol.net.

the e mail doesn't ever arrive from: no_reply@malariacontrol.net.

I have contacted my ISP and here's their respose:

The messages from the domain malariacontrol.net are not being denied explicitly but are failing to meet the technical requirements for an SMTP transmission, specifically:

Rejected HELO/EHLO must contain FQDN

This means the the message announced itself with a HELO or EHLO command without a Fully Qualified Domain Name but something generally unidentifiable, possibly hostname alone.

Also of note, the source email address is not no_reply@malariacontrol.net but rather www-data@malariacontrol.net.

If the SMTP mail transport agent is configured to correctly identify itself to the recipient SMTP mail transport agent the email message will be accepted and delivered accordingly.

Try logging in using the <authenticator> instead (if you have it), then change the password,

Have you got Webmail access at that email account, if you log on you might find filtered Spam messages there,

I've sent Nicolas an email with request to come help you, Byron.
Perhaps that he can give you your account key through PM, or direct email.

Byron will be approached by Nicolas through email (with thanks for the quick answer, Nick!).

In the mean time, if anyone else ever finds themselves in this situation, check Malaria's personnel page, down in the right corner there's a "Contact show/hide" link. Click it to find a contact form directly to the project people.

Dear Byron,

Glad this worked!

Thanks for forwarding the problem description from your ISP,

they seem to have a very strict spam filter

We'll have a look to see if there is something we can do on our mail configuration to fix this.

This might be included in a handy list of "Common Gotchas for new project admins".

In the past, I've received emails like

You have received a new private message at AQUA@home.

where the sender has appeared as

Apache <apache@localhost.localdomain>

If I were an ISP, I think my spam filter would block that one too!
