excessive email notifications are killing my server.

[SJ77]

Look how many tasks are stacking up trying to send emails to everyone subscribed to the topic.

This is why I get comments that folks don't get registration emails. Server tasks are staked a mile long.

Is there some way to do this better? Slow it down? or coalesce it or something?

Maybe only shoot notifications 1 time per day per topic?

Thank you in advance

Everytime anyone says anything 14K emails fire off. That's insane. How can I stop this?

That's how it works but it sends in batches.

But there's a setting to remove followers if a content hasn't new replies after X days or weeks:

Certainly a lot of this 14K aren't active anymore.

I wanted to point out, notifications will not cause registration emails to be delayed. Those emails are sent off instantly/immediately and not queued to be sent, like notifications are.

Seems like their server could get bombed if someone posted rapidly. Maybe a way to throttle emails to once every xx mins would be useful.
