Description
Hi,
Thank you first up for the component.
From what I've seen, it has allowed the majority of new users through the registration process tho, upon reflect through the logs, I notice the module has failed letting through the following user despite the domain being valid.
Rejected email address: nothisrealname@cyberone.com.au. Reason: 451 Please try again later. Thankfully I knew the user and he used a Gmail account and registered. I wonder why the rejection is happening as I certainly don't wish to detract future users through a failing registration process. Any ideas? (I've disabled the module for the moment in case it's something I've messed up)

I've had this same issue. People registerring with Yahoo email accounts never received an email. When I checked my mail logs it turned out that the email was bounced by yahoo. Here's the reason it listed: 501 Syntax error in parameters or arguments (in reply to MAIL FROM command)
For now I've disabled email verification and am using CAPTCHA. It would be nice to re-enable this feature though.

(Related issue includes a paste-in patch for the code that recognizes response codes. Haven't yet tested it myself.)
