Facebook won't accept email addres on sign-up as valid.?

[tankman1989]

I registered a domain a day ago and setup a new email address (admin@domain.com) and I wanted to start a new facebook account and it isn't accepting the email as valid. I made sure it was typed correctly and did it all 2-3 times. Still a no go. I've seen others with the same problem and there seems to be no explanation.

Any suggestions?

Is the email active outside Facebook? I.e. have you tried sending and receiving email?

My pure guess is that it only accepts major hosts - hotmail, yahoo, gmail, AOL (yes, people still use AOL..omg) etc.

They may also accept .edu.

I have my own domain registered so I doubt it. I wonder if it has been active long enough, maybe it needs 48 hours or more?

I tried getting mine to work with no luck. Tried again 6 months
Later, still no luck.

Maybe it's not so much about registered domains, but rather FB looking for those popular domains.

At certain points in the past various companies have blocked certain email addresses for example I use a webmaster@ address constantly but discover credit card company at one point considered all webmaster@ addresses to be invalid so I had to change it. I would imagine admin@ could be in the same boat. Discover is not the only place that blocked webmaster@ its just the only one I recall right now.

I you read the FAQ Facebook doesn't allow common words before @ eg mail email contact etc. it will be ok with your domain name just don't have a common start

I know Facebook has its own domain email address but the company does not have its own actual email service. As you can sign and create your own email address.

I'd check your domain name with mxtoolbox.com You might be listed on a spam service. THAT will cause Facebook to reject your email. And you can be listed if your webhost has issues even if you personally don't.

Please belove me it's the admin bit. Try creating jbloggs@ your domain it will work...
