micheleberti Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 <p>It seems that there are members of the site who email address isn'tnever mailed upon requested. I have requested the email address of fewpeople but i haven't received anyone. I then tried to request my ownand I received it immediately. Why? Is there any problem? Or is therea way to do that? I mean, is this a feature available to every memberof the site (if so how can I block the mailing of my email address) orsomething else is happening... ?</p><p>Does anyone experienced the same problem?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paula grenside Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 It has just happened to me, Michele. I requested an e-mail address and am still waiting. The sending in the past was immediate. No idea what the glitch is. --- Brian, I was trying to contact you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottershead Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 First I can tell you that there are no privileged email addresses which aren't mailed out. You aren't guaranteed that it will be a valid address, but it should be mailed to you. As for why you would have a problem with some and not others, that is hard to say. Can you look up my address? If so, send me a mail with the address that you are looking up and I will try to figure out what the problem is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johncrosley Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Please don't add me to the problem; a member was trying to get my e-mail address and correctly learned it then didn't connect to my e-mail account through my @Photo.net address, but you, Brian, sent me an e-mail to tell me it is now a problem corrected. Thank you for doing so. I felt during the recent 'hack' attack, that I should protect my e-mail identity and use a PN surrogate, and it now appears to be working, (I think). Thanks again.

mottershead Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 John, the incident where the "Avenger" deleted a portfolio was almost certainly due to someone getting access to a photo.net member's PC at his workplace that was logged-in to photo.net. If your login email address on photo.net is a bogus email address on a domain such as hotmail where people can create accounts at will, there is the possibility that someone could use it to get your password to photo.net. But if you have a real address of which you have control, then that isn't an issue. Spam could be a problem, but we send out addresses in such low volumes, spammers aren't going to go to the trouble to get a few addresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_nitsche Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 I requested one earlier and it took a couple hours to get to me, but I did get it... There was a delay though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micheleberti Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 Apparently there was some delay. I received all the email address I requested with a delay of a couple of hours. Just my own arrived immediately upon requested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altern Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I had this problem too. About a week ago I tried to request an address, but never received it. Tried again a bit later, still nothing. Today it worked perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
