for the ones i have tested atleast.
I've also noticed that SER sometimes will not find the verification emails for certain platforms. Take Drupal for example. They usually send emails that look something like this http://example.com/user/reset/56151541543dfga which are one time login links before defining a password. Alot of times SER's email verification will say it found data for 1 url (0 verify, 0 login) for these type of links.
Also, A LOT and I mean A LOT of platforms have started to send the verification link in a non-hyperlink format. I've seen many broken up something like this:
http://example.com
/%uid%=5481&&%email%=example.yahoo.com
I pay close attention to SER's log and have checked many of my own emails myself to notice it's not only a SER issue. MANY sites are combating spam and if you use bought verified lists that everyone else is hammering it's much more likely the site will start to use anti-spam methods.
exploit, url shortner, directory, rss, blog comments, guest books, social bookmarks
I'm currently getting quite a decent amount of articles, wiki, microblogs, etc with the latest version using yahoo & nokiamails and my modified contextual engines of 2 days timeout on email verification. I still think Sven should increase this to at least a day on some contextual engines because email login issues etc can affect your ability to verify the emails in time.
I'm using ScraperBandit from BanditIM here in the forums to scrape my own lists but I still get the type of links you're talking about with some recent verified lists sold here. Drupal seems to be the only platform I'm having a lot of issues with and I think it's because SER isn't utilizing their one-time login links sent by email properly.
I am sure the verification emails are part of that issue, but even with all of the filters turned off. ( for a test) So i can just post to anything, the verified links are under 5% of submitted
Is this perhaps a GSA issue at the moment? Been playing around with settings without any luck
anymore thoughts?
>yeah i have 341 emails in my account and none of them are being shown as read.
a pop3 protocol can not tell you if the emails are read or not. Thats your email client doing it.
Thats the issue im having. thanks for being helpful and helping out. but still not sure whats going on.
you seem to use a catch-all email. In the log you can see that you login with two projects at a time to the same account and do parsing/delete (?). Im not sure if thats going to work (depends on your email server). That when you delete one email with one login and parse the message with another, is that still visible or would it cause problems.
I would suggest you to use the option to wait between logins.
Also note that submission starts only after a normal activation. On some engines the url from "submitted" is only removed on a successful login.
i have same problem, my GSA keep checking email and not verify link.
