I think the most likely thing is that their school's mail server is mangling the activation link such that Mahara no longer recognizes the key. For instance, perhaps it's putting a line break in the middle of it, so that when they click through they're only sending part of the key.
You get that same error message whether you send through a bad key or an expired key. Perhaps it would be a useful patch if someone split up the logic to give a more specific error message, "I didn't recognize that key", or "That key has expired". I'll file a "bite-sized" bug about that.

]]>'Sorry, there does not seem to be a registration with this key. Perhaps you
waited longer than 24 hours to complete your registration? Otherwise, it might
be our fault.'
Do all users go through the same registration process or are some self registration and for others pending registration where an admin needs to approve before the account is set up?
It shouldn't really depend on your email address esp. when they receive the first message. Since you say that the 24 hours aren't respected, maybe the time is off on the server? Do the other users who have a "correct" email domain do everything else exactly the same as the ones for whom it doesn't work?

Users from a College are unable to fully complete the registration to a 1.8. They register, fill out the fileds and initially receive a success message. When they immediately check their email the verification email is there. When they click the link in the email, they recieve a message that 24 hours have expired and they can not complete the process. I then go in and manually reset their password and then the account works.
I think this is domain related as others can register. Where would I start looking? Thanks
We are on 1.8, Mysql, Debian,
Cheers
