Validation E-Mail Issue Solved

Today, after discussions with how to register the server with a domain name, I checked out our web host, and in the process found a solution to the validation e-mail issue. It actually turned out simpler than I expected.

First, on our web host, I created a new e-mail account to handle sending of validation e-mails. Then, on the authentication server, I found that I could edit the config.php file to send validation e-mails through the new e-mail account. Simply specify the mode, the server name, user and password.

So far, I've tested it with Yahoo (still falsely flags it as spam, but it does get through), AOL and Chartermi accounts. All came through.

I've cleaned out the accounts on our current authentication server that were awaiting validation e-mails and applied the solution mentioned about. The new server already has been configured to reflect this change.

Update:
SSL and Google Maps are now configured and working. I tested one of the new wireless hotspots on SSL and it works. So, this Sunday, I will transition wifidog entirely over to the new server.
