eyedam Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 I would like to suggest an option for admin to limit the count of notification e-mails users are getting (per day/per month). I have a problem with members visiting the board frequently enough but still enabling PM and new reply notifications thus ending up getting the board to regulary send out a relatively huge amount of e-mail resulting in full mailboxes and some e-mail providers putting our site in their black list and rejecting our e-mails which creates problems for other members when confirming their accounts and resetting lost paswords.Thanks!

Antony Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Indeed. It should be possible to limit the amount of e-mails sent out from the board per day. This should include sending out confirmation and password reset e-mails. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellawella Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Might be a bit of a bummer when someone registers only to discover their activation mail isn't allowed to be sent :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antony Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Might be a bit of a bummer when someone registers only to discover their activation mail isn't allowed to be sent :unsure:The limit should be per-member. I should've made that clear. :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyedam Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 ellawella, of course per member! Thus the registration letter for a new member is the first one and is sent out unless the limitation is 0... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Phantom Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Wouldn't it be easier as an admin to run a daily sql query that removes X day old threads from the subscription service.Plus you can set the time till such subscription expires, set it for one day.

If you signed up someone and then flooded his mailbox using the Resend validation info link. Having subscriptions pruned is highly annoying as it stops us from keeping track of topics such as support topics on IPSBeyond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because inactive threads do not produce any e-mail.Plus you can set the time till such subscription expires, set it for one day.Does this even makes sense for the subscription feature then?
