Email verification problem

Is the email verification broken? I tried it today and it worked for me. My friend wanted to join myspace as well so they decided to try and sign up but they didn't get any email. We tried using a spam email i made about 7 months ago but that didn't work either. Its been about 4 hours after that happened and they still haven't gotten a verification email. Is this happening to other people too??
edit: they got the email :)
