***UPDATE*************
This message could apply to you no matter what ISP you use. This problem is happening with increasing frequency and there is really nothing I can do to help you if you do not help yourself first.
If you have registered and not received the e-mail from the board with your password, you need to check whatever you have for a "junk e-mail" folder to see if the e-mail is in there.
Once you make sure that you will receive e-mails from Boatingabc.com, send me an e-mail saying as much and I will have to board send it out again.

http://www.boatingabc.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?/ubb/agree_review.html At the very top, I am doing my best to help you out by letting you know what you need to do to receive the e-mail the board sends out with your password.
Here is what gets kicked back to me from just about every Earthlink e-mail account...
I apologize for this automatic reply to your email.
To control spam, I now allow incoming messages only from senders I have approved beforehand.

I am not going to spend my time to respond to such e-mails when they come, as it happens quite a lot. What happens next is I get an e-mail from someone wanting to know where his e-mail is that contains the password. It would be a waist of time to reply to it as the reply would only elicit yet another of the above auto responses.
I really love the fact that you want to join us and am happy to have you here. However, if you want to create an account and get your password, it is up to you to make sure that your e-mail account will accept e-mails from Boatingabc.com before registering.
