[sage-support] Re: Notebook sign-up email
Hi Greg, I'm sorry to hear that this is causing you trouble with your system admin. I will take care of this issue first thing on August 1st. Currently the only purpose of email addresses being required in registration is to prevent people from being spammed who never signed up in the first place when someone tries to recover her password. But this system is clearly flawed. On August 1st I'll submit a patch that implements a notebook configuration keyword with the default value of False and tie the registration and password recovery system to it. Timothy PS: I can't do the simple commenting out until sometime tomorrow because I stupidly didn't bring my laptop with me on my trip.

One more question for Greg: What happened to the OSX Sage app you showed at Dev1? We are really anxious to get it merged into Sage since it looked really cool :) Cheers, Michael --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---

[sage-support] Re: Notebook sign-up email
I am running a Sage notebook server for my students. Every time one of my students creates an account, the notebook sends the student an e-mail with a link to confirm their e-mail address. However, that e-mail gets bounced back to the server since my machine is not authorized to send e-mail messages. However, the bounced back message cannot be delivered since my server does not support incoming mail, and the message gets stuck in my college's mail queue. Then I get nasty messages from my college's unix system administrator. I want to turn off the "feature" of the notebook that sends out e-mail messages to everyone who creates an account. As far as I can tell, you can use your newly created account to log in to the notebook, even without receiving the e-mail and confirming your e-mail address. My students and I are able to use Sage just fine. I just want to avoid the complaints from my sysadmin about the bounced e-mail being sent by my server. -- Greg On Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 10:15 PM, Matthew Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Greg, > > It's not clear from your message, but are you running Sage locally or > are you trying to get an account on a remote Sage installation? > > If it is a local Sage installation then no emails need to be sent for > any reason in order to have the notebook interface work. > > Clarify things if you don't get Sage to work.

[sage-support] Re: Notebook sign-up email
Greg, It's not clear from your message, but are you running Sage locally or are you trying to get an account on a remote Sage installation? If it is a local Sage installation then no emails need to be sent for any reason in order to have the notebook interface work. Clarify things if you don't get Sage to work. Take care.
