Question Multiple Email Notifications

Sozzled, I'm going through your checklist for email notifications and will get back soon on what I discover.

One strange behavior I'm seeing is that when users post in the New Member Introduction Area, I got a ton of email notifications, all identical. At least 8-10.

However, with other posts, I get 2 email notifications. I'm pretty sure they are identical. I'll share more data soon.

Do you know how many users are receiving emails in New Member Introduction area? Because of you have checked a setting that sends you one email from every email sent by Kunena.

Because of you can have only up to 100 receivers for one email without it being marked as spam, sending email notification to 800 users would take 8 emails.

As I said before, I recommend of using email address that isn't your own for "Visible E-mail Recipient". That email address is just needed to prevent emails from going into spam folder as Hotmail, Google mail and others require that every email needs to have visible receiver in it.

So just make a new google account and use it in the setting.

Matias:

When I leave the Visible E-mail Recipient field empty, I receive absolutely NO Email notifications at all. This is a giant red flag to me since I'm (obviously) subscribed to many topics on the forum but for whatever reason, I'm still not receiving emails from any postings.

This situation is the same as it was in Kunena 1.7.2. It has not changed. I do not know YET, how many emails other recipients are receiving but I will check on this.

Remember that you don't receive any emails from your own posts.

Yes! That's probably the answer that has been eluding us!

If you post a reply to a topic that you have subscribed to, you don't receive an email notification of that posting! :woohoo:

Wow, I had no idea about this. It is indeed a revelation. I will need to do some testing by posting messages with an alternate identity. BTW, is this a configurable setting or by design?

Where is a good place for me to begin troubleshooting my 8-9 email notifications that arise whenever anyone posts to the new members introduction area?
