Hi.. This isn't my usual login.
I couldn't change my password because I did't recall my old one, and password change emails were not coming through.
It looks like the messages come from [email protected] - but bitcointalk.xta.net isn't resolvable via Telstra Australia - so some mailservers will reject it.
Also - when using a tool such as dnsgoodies.com - there appears to be no MX record, A record or Cname record for the hostname bitcointalk.xta.net
I've no idea how many people this affects, but I guess it will also stop some new users from registering.
I managed to register ok using a gmail account instead of my normal one.
Cheers,
julz.
