How to invite new user to specific server?

You don’t actually need the chatmail server QR code. If you

  1. Pretend you have an account on the chatmail server
    a. Make up a 9-character random string, and call it your user name. If your unblocked server was nine.testrun.org, use [9-char random string]@nine.testrun.org as your email address.
    b. Make up a password. A string of 12 random characters is standard.
  2. In the DC client, pick “Create New Profile”>“Use Other Server”>“Classic E-Mail Login”
  3. Fill in your made-up address and password.

Everything works. Except in the unlikely event that that e-mail address already exists, the server will register it on first login.
