Just got spammed by Tech-Forums? (email)

[iFargle]

Did this happen to anyone else?
I know I've read all these before because I never have an unread email count
They're all from the same thread too.. hm. meh :tonue:

are you subscribed to that thread?

It just looks like the mail server isnt working properly. Cause the dates are not all the same. Just look the first one shown on screen is from July 4th. The last one was from August 4th. Then you had the one from 8AM that morning. So no it isnt spam cause the dates are all different. It just looks like the mail server didnt send them all properly and you got them all at once instead of when you should have. Not spamming, just mail server being bogged down trying to handle every single subscribed thread for all of our members.

yeah I'm subscribed to it... They dated back to like.. April.. probably even earlier. It was only that thread too

I guess the dam busted.

I think that we should see if we can remove subscriptions to topics like that one that get lots of posts. I think it might be over loading the email server. Could be the source of the email problem you had before Trotter.
