Problems With Emails Being Sent From Site ?

[Mike]

What seems to have happenend is after the upgrade some people have had the "topic reply" subscription turned on

resulting in emails sent when a message is posted

(its a feature that users can choose to recieve an email whenever someone replies to a choosen topic/thread/post)

not sure how widespread this problem is

but thought post to avoid confusion and apoligises

if do have problems the help guide section is quoted below

This board can notify you when a new reply is added to a topic. Many users find this useful to keep up to date on topics without the need to view the board to check for new messages.

There are three ways to subscribe to a topic:

Click the 'Track This Topic' link at the top of the topic that you wish to track

On the posting screen when replying to or creating a topic, check the 'Enable email notification of replies?' checkbox

From the E-Mail settings section of your User CP (My Controls) check the 'Enable Email Notification by default?' option, this will automatically subscribe you to any topic that you make a reply to

Please note that to avoid multiple emails being sent to your email address, you will only get one e-mail for each topic you are subscribed to until the next time you visit the board.

You are also able to subscribe to each individual forum on the board, to be notified when a new topic is created in that particular forum. To enable this, click the 'Subscribe to this forum' link at the bottom of the forum that you wish to subscribe to.

To unsubscribe from any forums or topics that you are subscribed to - just go to the 'Subscriptions' section of 'My Controls' and you can do this from there.

emails look like below

Same problem here Mike.

It seems sscdt pt3 started generating e-mail notifications.

Just switched them off. Sscdt pt2 was the same setting as last night (switched off).

I'll see what happens.

[Guest Johnny One Trout]

Here's the last one i got, they don't seem to follow much of a pattern and are not from sscdt!!!
