Email Delivery Problems

It turns out that there are a lot of non-deliverable emails being sent from this web site every day. I have just deleted no fewer than 1.1 million email failure messages, accumulated over 12 years. These messages caused the 'maximum number of files allowed' on the web site to be exceeded. This has caused a stop to all emails these last few days.

Today, I have no less than 5,000 failure messages. ie. There are 5,000 registered users asking for an email, but supplying an invalid address. This rate of failure will have caused many genuine emails not to be delivered.

Now that I'm aware of them, I'll keep a check on them. If your emails have not been delivered, you should check your email address on the database pronto.

At a minimum, these accounts will have their email turned off. I may delete the accounts completely. You have been warned...
