The main problem is the whole "Only give the password to people that can be trusted" thing failed.

@nerthos I should have made it randomly generated each day, so people would have to ask me directly (or a mod or something) what the password was.

@minti Or just activate SN's already extant invite-only mode?

@ceruleanspark I would if the email function worked correctly. Some email providers are blocking emails from the site as spam and I have no clue why. I've tried everything.

@ceruleanspark That is the same as the current system. It fails in that inevitbly someone gives the password/an invite to an idiot, and things go downhill.

@ceruleanspark @minti Not even spam, they're outright refusing to deliver the emails cause they don't pass a filter of some sort.

@minti SPF records? Reverse DNS? The fact that they're coming from a mailserver on some dudes domestic grade connection?

@ceruleanspark Checked. Checked. Nothing I can do about that one. :p

@minti Well there /is/. If all you were to actually do with it is run the mailserver, you could probably reliably fit postfix onto one of AWS's freebie instances, or the DigitalOcean $5 a month plan, if you've got money. Then just configure your SN instance to log into the server via IMAP and firewall the mailserver to only accept inbound connections from SBN's main server.

@ceruleanspark I'd be better off just using gmail for that then. :p

@minti Google Apps free plan would let you use the sites domain name too.

@minti That would have worked. The idiocy has died down a bit in the last time at least.
