what email service provider do u use?

[sonatine]

i'm stuck here and don't know what to do, i'm trying to make a template to register on blogs and many of them need a confirmation email, so we use email processing to do this but i don't know what email service provider to use ?!
first i used safe-mail.net but unfortunately that confirmations emails went to junk mails ! and ZP just opens inbox emails.
secondly i used Hushmail service but damn it they don't have pop3 service for free users, now i don't know what to do, any help would be appreciated.

I'm using a Catch-all domain.

i don't know how to use this one, i'm searching for a free email provider that has free pop3 settings, i could manage to find some but all of them send confirmation emails to spam folder and ZP doesn't load this folder ( sadly ). can u explain more about this function u named ? maybe a full explanation about how can i use that for email processing ?

@sonatine
I won't explain in detail, but the big PRO about this is that you can create emails on the fly with wildcards.
For example you could use {-Profile.Username-}@YourDomain.com in your templates and have all those email addresses forwarded to just one email, ie [email protected].
The big con however is that it leaves a huge footprint, your domain.

Never tried that one. Is there a maximum amount of emails? You can spread over cheap domains, I suppose.

Guess that will depend on what hosting/domain provider you're using.
I'm using my domain with no limits . $10 a year for the domain and unlimited emails, pretty nice.

it was very useful and i followed your hint and with great results but a small problem here :
suppose i'm creating a template to register on blogs or forums, zenno enter emails by a pattern you mentioned above, no problem here but for email processing there are many similar emails, how zenno can recognize right one for right email ? because all have similar patten like : congratulations ! please click here to activate your account
i really would be grateful to know your opinion here because your method above solved many of my problems.

i think i found the answer myself, in email processing panel we have an option : remove downloaded....should i check that to do that i want ?
any suggestion would be appreciated here.

This is what I usually use as regex to find the particular email. Where {-Profile.Email-} is your email address variable.
(?<=[\w\W]*){-Page.Domain-}[\w\W]*{-Profile.Email-}(?=[\w\W]*)

 

[sonatine]

i ain't have problem with that, but i have another question how can i tell to zenno to delete confirmation email after confirmation ?!

I don't think you can, but I'm sure someone mentioned it's in the pipeline.

Re catch all emails; can we use sub domain emails?
