The discussion revolves around an error message “There was a problem sending another activation email. http: undefined - undefined” when sending activation emails to users as an admin. Mischief reported this issue after upgrading to version v1.5.0.beta3 +52 and found a similar bug report on meta.discourse.org. codinghorror suspected a regression, which led eviltrout to investigate and discover a rate limit of 30 activation emails per hour by IP address. This limit has been removed for logged-in staff users via the admin interface, and the error message has been improved. The issue arose as Mischief was resending activation emails to a large number of users after a forum relaunch.
We have been getting a message “There was a problem sending another activation email. http: undefined - undefined” when trying to send out an activation email to a user as an admin.
We sent out a number, to remind users that they need to activate their account and then after sending 20 this error has appeared and we can’t get rid of it.
We upgraded to version v1.5.0.beta3 +52 and it is still appearing.
We’ve just relaunched a forum, switching over from other forum software and in the process we noticed that a small percentage of those who had moved hadn’t activated their accounts, so we thought we’d give them a helping hand by sending them a reminder to do so.
