I’m trying to set gitlab@mydomain.net for my gitlab account, but I don’t get the confirmation e-mail for that address. I’ve tried to resend it several times. Spam folder is empty. My mail provider even checked the logs, but the mail never arrived.
When I change the local part to something else (e.g. dev@mydomain.net) the confirmation e-mail arrives instantly. I’ve had that experience also with a couple of other services on the internet when I used the service name in the local part of the address, but I never found out the reason for that.
ps: mydomain.net is only a placeholder for the real domain
