1 forum mod? and email sending

That’s fine if folks don’t like the idea, that’s is all it was, just an idea, just thought it would be nice to give recognition, there has been times when no reply has been needed but I felt a like or a thanks would have been appropriate.

Agreed.

Not a problem, i will remove that part of the post :slight_smile:

BTW, Bashy, I got a notification of your last post literally no more than one minute after you made it. Not a jab, just FYI.

OK, that’s definitely a Chris question then. Still be interesting to look at the times in the header.

Ok, will let ya know when the email comes through for this one :lol: never know, some are are fairly quick
so perhaps its already at 15 mins and you could be correct,

I looked back at the headers on several PM notifications with various minute timestamps. The time in the header is very close (seconds) to the timestamp at the top of the PM in the forum. I turned on notify so please post again on some odd minute and I’ll post the header.

We used to have karma turned on which is like ‘like’ but it was turned off a long time ago because people didn’t really like it.

As far as I know notification emails are put in the queue immediately they arise. If the mail queue has a lot in it then it might take a little while to send, but there are usually only a handful of messages in the queue so messages should go out within a minute or two at most.

Bashy post :50:09 on forum

I just did a quick grep on the maillog and the average delay through the mail system for notifications going to Bashy today is about 50 seconds. That’s from origination, to outbound malware/spam scanning to delivery to the remote mail server.

Not a problem. This is a forum and it is always good to kick around ideas here.

@Niko, Chris, perhaps its a Gmail thing then :? :roll:

If you’re using GMail to pick up mail from your domain then there will be a delay. GMail trains itself to how often on average you receive emails and sets the collection time accordingly. There are probably lower and upper limits to the collection frequency…I think the quickest is about 8-10 minutes which should give an average of about 4-5 minutes delay on receiving emails.

AH… that will be it, i have just changed it to my gmail account,
it was coming from from suffolk weather through gmail, thanks Chris
lets see how quick it is now, if you reply that is lol

Not a quick reply but hopefully you’ll see the notification quickly.

Just got it now, is the forum an hour behind, says you spotted this at 3:15pm

See if the time is better now. I flipped the server into GMT by mistake a few days ago…it should run in UTC time zone.

Although UTC is GMT at the moment so that can’t be it :oops:
