Older archives, mid-2004[edit]

Hi,

A user just approached me, that he has forgotten his password, but the system is not sending him a new password.

I guess, that there is a typing error in his email-address. Can a developer check this, or what has he to do to get access again to his account?

The user requesting this: de:Benutzer:Caliga

His email address (as he wrote on my talk-page on de): pw@caligamedia.de

Thanks for help :-) Fantasy 08:58, 28 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

just an addition: i might have used my other domain, stiefelweb.de ;) --Caliga
Yes, it was set to stiefelweb.de. I reset it to caligamedia.de for you. -- Tim Starling 01:42, Jun 25, 2004 (UTC)
Thanks for your help, but i am sorry, it didn't solve my problem. The system (repeatedly) told me it sent a message to my address, but i received none. I have a catchall on both domains, so I receive every mail to these domains. Also, there is no SPAM filter on the server, i receive up to 100 a day... (Just a virus filter). As Danimilkasahne had the same problem, i wondered if there is a general problem with "private" (or uncommon) domains?!? Of course you can send me a new password directly (that would be nice ;) ), but somehow i have the feeling there is a general problem. --Caliga
If I may intervene on the technical side: there is absolutely no difference between "uncommon" and "common" domains. Mostly faults are either directly at the software of the sending or receiving end; the way in between is next to irrelevant. Next to no errors happen there. -- towo
Well, i know there is no technical difference, but i thought it might be possible, that only "trusted" domains (e.g. big players) are allowed. of course that does not fit the wikipedia spirit :) anyway... i think i can handle that "send new password" button and also i never had the feeling, that emails that i should receive got lost. also i tried it repeatedly, but i never received a new password.

Servus, I have the same Problem de:Benutzer:Danimilkasahne : wik@danimilkasahne.de. Thanks for Help - Daniel

Your email address was set correctly. Perhaps our message is being filtered as spam. I will try to send it to you by forwarding it from my own email account. -- Tim Starling 01:42, Jun 25, 2004 (UTC)

I have come back to Wikipedia after a long absence and have found that my password to my User Account (Scot stevenson) does not work anymore and the system does not send me my a new password. The new password should go to scot@possum.in-berlin.de . Failing this, I would be grateful if this page could be deleted so I can sign in all over again. Thanks, Scot

This is possibly because you set it to scot@possum.NOSPAM.in-berlin.de . This is definitely not the best way to avoid spam. Wikipedia users avoid spam by specifying their actual email address, then any email is sent via the web interface which does not reveal the true email address to the user. Wikipedia has never bulk-emailled its users, and we do not intend to start. I've set it to the correct address. -- Tim Starling 01:42, Jun 25, 2004 (UTC)

For on just a presentation my problem is fixed? Thank you for your cooperation, someone I don't your name.
No problem. -- Tim Starling 01:25, Feb 22, 2004 (UTC)
