Hello everyone, I recently deployed Discourse on my own server, and while everything is generally running smoothly, I’ve encountered a significant issue. My Discourse instance is sending out an excessive number of email notifications to users, informing them of new content updates. As a result, some users are receiving hundreds of emails in a single day, which is quite concerning. I’ve checked the settings and confirmed that the email notification frequency seems to be normal, but I still can’t pinpoint the root cause. I would greatly appreciate any assistance or advice on how to resolve this issue. Here are some steps I’ve already taken: 1. Reviewed the email notification settings and ensured that there are no options enabled for overly frequent notifications. 2. Checked user notification preferences to confirm that they haven’t opted in for excessive email updates. 3. Consulted Discourse’s official documentation and forums, but haven’t found a relevant solution. If anyone with experience could share insights on how to reduce the email sending frequency or any other configuration tips, I would be very grateful! Thank you for your help!
