[QUOTE="Twin Rose, post: 3011433, member: 2765"] Currently, EN World is generating more subscription emails than the sendmail process can handle - causing a delay of several hours. This delay is compounded by more mails being added to the list, and more. A very large percentage of these mails are bouncing back to EN World, causing it to run even slower. There is a chance we may hve to force-unsubscribe everyone from the forums to which they are subscribed. What I need from everyone is to check their emails - make sure that they are accurate and able to receive mail - before you resubscribe. I'm looking at other settings and possibilities to try and prevent from having to do this, some way of increasing the speed with which emails are processed. The problem is that while this is going on, the whole server drags until they're processed, and while more mails keep getting piled on... You get the idea. For example, there are 250 people subscribed to the General discussion forum for instant email notification. That means every time people are posting, and replying, in that forum 250 emails are getting sent out. As you can imagine, this is creating quite a backlog of mail! And I can't believe that anywhere NEAR 250 people are checking every one of those emails to see if it's something they want to reply to. (Well, maybe Crothian.... ;) ) [/QUOTE]
