Re: launchpad registration broken

["Chris Garcia" <jsbohannon@xxxxxxxxx>]

Okay. We're talking about gmail here. You're telling me I can't use gmail with Launchpad?  Because of some x-headers? Thank you, Curtis. I appreciate your letting me know what's going on. I'm going to go process that, and when the time is right, I'm going to create another email address, point it at my gmail account, and start participating in Launchpad. But right now I can't because I'm just dumbfounded.

I just tested Launchpad. It is sending emails. I used a non-gmail
address.

Launchpad uses x-headers to mark the origin and intent of its messages
to simply mail filtering and tracking, but I do not think gmail supports
this kind of filtering.

       X-Generated-By: Launchpad (canonical.com); Revision="7316";
        Instance="launchpad-lazr.conf"

I believe the message will be from

       Login Service <noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
