User don't get Activation Mail
I have the problem that one of my Authpoint users dont get the Activation Mail on his Mail account. I have allready check by our mail provider if the mail in spam or anything else. But there is no activation Mail from Authpoint. It is very strange because I have 100 Authpoint user all get the Activation Mail only this one not. I have checked the mail address but htis is also correct.

Hi @Daniel_P30
This can happen if the email server rejects the email account.
I checked with support, and it looks like you have also opened a case -- they'll be the best people to help. Can you please let the technician that you're working with know the email address that isn't getting the confirmation?
Thank you,

The problem is fixed. The problem was that the mailbox wasn't created as this user was already synchronized from LDAP to Authpoint. This will cause Authpoint to reject the request for this mailbox. If authpoint receives a mail rejection, it will stop sending any other emails to that address until we intervene.
This must be cleaned up with a Watchguard ticket so that it works again afterwards.0 -

Hello @Daniel_P30 ,
in this kind of scenario, the only way to resolve the problem is to contact WatchGuard support opening a ticket and provide the email address that didn't receive the email activation.
As you know, this problem was that the user email was not created at the time that LDAP sync has been done with AuthPoint.

Hi @James_Carson,
yes sure I will do that.
Is it possible to fix this problem myself or do I always need support from Watchguard?
Hi @Daniel_P30
At this time there's no way for you to correct this other than ensuring that the mailbox exists and is ready to receive email before syncing authpoint to create the user.
There are feature requests open to alert the admin to a problem, however, re-enabling the user is intentionally only done by WatchGuard. Rejected emails from our domain can cause other activation emails to end up in SPAM filters, so this is managed carefully.
