Re: trouble creating abicollab.net account

As a followup, I've confirmed that registration of new accounts for
abicollab.net is broken.

I can confirm that no registration email is sent when registering a new
abicollab.net account (my mail server logs show no connection attempt to
the the address used, which I created especially for abicollab.net
signup).

Upon attempting to register a new abicollab.net account, an error message
saying email cannot be sent at this time is given.  Thereafter,
abicollab.net rejects any attempt to register again using the same email
address, saying the "account already exists".  If one tries to sign in
with that email, it says the account is not verified, and to refer to the
verification email (which was never sent).

There's also no way to contact anyone at abicollab.net via the
abicollab.net website.  This mailing list is the way I could find to try
to communicate with those responsible for abicollab.net.

Anyway, if the abicollab.net people read this list, please accept this as
a bug report for the site.
