sorry, but this is invalid.

what's happening is your user account has a pending "token".  generally this is
an action that requires email confirmation (eg new account, email address
update).  when a user logs in again, the pending token is deleted and an email
is sent to indicate this.

it is the pending token email that's being triggered when you log in.


with respect to getting sendmail working on windows,
http://glob.com.au/sendmail/ (and if you have issues, follow the troubleshooting
steps on that page).

Please don't re-open the bug without an explanation. This is not a bug, it's
just a configuration problem on your server.
