Has a facebook email work around been found yet?

Facebook users can't receive emails from dolphin, has this been fix or is there a work around yet?

Nope. Not that i am aware of.

The facebook proxy address is the only address you can get directly from facebook. The proxy address will only work if extended permission are granted.

All the current facebook connect modules i am aware of are not designed to request those extended permissions. And even if a module was written that could request those permissions, the facebook user has to grant the request, which most will not so there is really no point to even do it.

The problem I have is that the Facebook email address is too long.  It would work if the mass mailer would send to such a long email address.  Dolphin was not built to accept so many characters in an address.  Hope this helps.

I have a solution in a module where it requests permission to add the email to the user's profile.  It's the only way that you can get facebook to import actual email addresses because of privacy issues.  Without the user's permission facebook cannot do it automatically.

It also uses twitter, myspace, google, openid and a few other popular 3rd party accounts.

Here's the module:

What all these modules do that allow you to register through a different service (including Google, OpenID, etc) is immediately take you to the edit profile page and require you to enter all the "required" fields before your registration is complete.  Without the email address for sending out alerts, broadcast messages, etc, the service is almost useless, and it is even debatable whether they are really your members.
