I have my account set up to instantly send me an e-mail when someone replies to a thread that I've replied to. Some days I will get instant e-mails....and some days I get none even though there have been replies. What gives?
we turned the email server off for a few weeks due to performance issues. It was recently turned back on. It *should* be working fine for you now...is it not?
Its working fine right now. For the longest time it never worked...then recently worked, then didn't work....and is now working again.
We're using a VPS again at a local datacenter. The issues with the mail are not host related. Rather, more a backlog in postfix thanks to a hiccup in sending out notifications...there were 85,000 backed up which is what was causing the memory problems a few weeks ago. However, now we're batching mailing out to keep memory usage and server load at a reasonable amount. The alternative would be for everyone subscribed to threads to remove the "instant" notification and select "notify me once a day".
