Email problems

Post by Panikos »

Not sure what caused it, but the board emails were going out to people with rubbish where the return address should be.

Worse still various email servers decided that meant the board emails were spam and started rejecting them so people were not getting an email notification at all.

We're using a different method now so it should not happen again, but let us know if it does.

How long does an email kick around in the outbox before it is truly sent?

Hi Mimosa,

An email should go right away.

There's an odd arrangement with private messages where it sits there until the recipient has opened it, but email should just be like email anywhere and instant.

EDIT: I just had the board send a test email to me and it was instant. I pressed send and my phone notified me I had new mail.

Thank you. I just wondered if it did since I couldn't find it in the sent folders.

If it helps when you send a Private Message that leaves a copy in the Sent folder, but an email isn't stored at all just sent.
