There's nothing stopping you creating your own user ID and fixing it yourself? That's what makes the Wiki work.

I develop a free Word (for Windows) add-in for Word 2007 upwards. A toolbox that will allow power Word users to fix document errors. You can find it at: mikestoolbox.co.uk

Yes there is, the Wiki registration will not send me an email verification code.
I've tried 3 times now, and yes I have checked my spam folder.

The wiki does, but the company handling your email (Google? Microsoft?) actively blackhole small email providers.

I recommend ProtonMail.

Indeed, the situation with atari-wiki.com is pretty confusing now: we have a new website, cleaned up from spam but "nobody" can contribute to it because Exxos' forum seems to be somehow somewhere blacklisted so nobody using gmail & similar can get any emails from it.

I even had a working account there, now I don't because there is this new email verification activated.

IMHO this is some config issue on his side but I can understand why he isn't willing to invest more time into it. Fiddling with mail servers is always a delicate matter. But the outcome is pretty much the same as before: we have a read-only wiki now.

I think it's down to his hosting company not enabling / allowing reverse dns and any other system such as DMARC.
Without that any email service provider naturally blocks and rejects emails from them as they can't be verified/trusted.

Looks like, SPF and DKIM is missing. I will create a test account with my Microsoft-Mail and have a look at the mailflow in Exchange Admin Center (I work as an admin for a company who uses o365).

Thanks for the clarification mikro.

If anyone does have access and they feel like making the amendment, then please feel free (see first post in the thread for details).

I used my own domain as part of my email registration but this was before all the hassle that Exxos is getting.

That page has now been fixed.

I had no issues getting my registration email and I use ProtonMail.
