Forum OpenACS Development: Re: Problem with sending out the email-address-verification email for new users (needs a package; exploring.)

When looking a little closer, I noticed a problem:

When the user fills out the registration form and clicks OK, the system sends the registration email, which the new user receives. But, (when the user clicks OK on the reg form) it still shows a blank page entitled Account Closed. Everything else seems to be working, but the UI makes it seem it got stuck or something's wrong.

When the user receives the verification email, it contains the link, which verifies the user properly.

There's two cases... one, if the verification email used send_immediately, I guess it's not reporting an error to the caller.

If the verification email is queued, two things one, how is the user informed that s/he needs to check their email? and two, how would the system know whether an error occured in sending the mail?

I altered my copy of acs_mail_lite::sent_immediately, maybe something I did caused this problem. I'll attach my code to the next message so you can see and comment.

To clarify further, what should happen after the new user clicks OK on the registration form, is the user should be told to expect a verification email in the next few minutes, and the system is not showing a web page with that message.

Can anyone confirm that in openacs-5.8 it's having the user wait for the verification email?
