We documented the issue in https://savannah.nongnu.org/maintenance/LostAccounts/, and it is mentioned in other items (e.g. sr #108857); closing this one.

Please anyone having problems and reading this bug ticket.  Please, please, please include the Savannah username you are trying to register.  Because I as a Savannah helper would like to help but you I can't because there is no way to contact you.

Even better than an anonymous ticket posting would be to send an email to < savannah-help-public AT gnu.org > (human expanded so as not to be removed by the automated email address redactor, fix it before using).  You can use your regular email address and we can converse about the problem.

I created a account using gmail as well, its about ten hours since I got the point an email is send to you and you have two days to activate the account. I think I could be affected by this problem as well, because the is no possiblity to re-request the confirmation email.

Just made a new account (username genfren) but can't use it because no confirmation email received, not even in the spam folder (I use Gmail).
Oy vey, wanted to post a question in a thread about GNU Octave and Qt5 incompatibility.

It might worth mentioning, that while notifications are now passing with no worry, my registration confirmation email was still classified as spam by GMail®.

My comment email got marked as Spam too.

Maybe gmail is marking everything from Savannah as spam?

Gmail is marking the confirmation emails as Spam:

"! Why is this message in Spam? It's in violation of Google's recommended email sender guidelines.  [Learn more]"

"Learn more" is a link to https://support.google.com/mail/answer/81126?hl=en-GB#authentication which states:

"To ensure that Gmail can identify you:

    Use a consistent IP address to send bulk mail.
    Keep valid reverse DNS records for the IP address(es) from which you send mail, pointing to your domain.
    Use the same address in the 'From:' header on every bulk mail you send.

We also recommend the following:

    Sign messages with DKIM. We do not authenticate messages signed with keys using fewer than 1024 bits.
    Publish an SPF record.
    Publish a DMARC policy."

Hi guys,
I got a similar pb, trying to login with my account "eatdirt" and having lost my passwd, I never received the email supposed to allow resetting it.

I love savannah, but please, please, please, do something to make the login just OK please. It is a madness eachtime I am trying to login...

In the last hour I did:

  1. forgot my login name

1 ok, let's try to open a new account
2 rejected, email address already registered
goto 0

:(

BREAK: my brain magically remembered my login name (Alleluia)

3 fill the resetting password form
4 sleep 600
5 check spam
6 sleep 600
...
18 Jesus, that's bugged

:(

BREAK: let's report the bug on the Get Support filling form

19 fill the box nicely explaining that I cannot log
20 press enter
21 rejected; please read George Orwell wikipedia website
22 x=1949
32 rejected; please login to actually post a bug on login pb
32 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

BREAK: let's try to find out if I have another email address usable

33: yes, an alias to my already used email address
34: open a new account with a login name and email address different
35: let's try to submit that bloody bug report on login pb
36: (don't forget George year book otherwise the box will be erased again)
37 I am praying!!!!!


PS: I just wanted to report a bug for the project freetype2


GOD help me, I am mad now!

I've manually activated your account, but once you log in, you should request the confirmation email again, in case you ever forget your password.

Hi,

The account name should be "thedaver64"

I can't find your account by your email; what was the account name?

As it says in the title. I requested an account, which seemed to proceed normally , however after 24 hours I've yet to receive an email into my gmail account.

I've checked the spam folders and believe 24 hours ought to be ample time for an automated service to have worked.

Is there a problem with using gmail accounts? Or should I wait or perhaps try again?
