We have a private forum (hosted on Digital Ocean) of about 950 members. Normally, we send around 75k to 90k emails a month (we use SendGrid as an email relay host and are pretty happy with them). This month, because of community growth and helping members deal with COVID-19 issues, posts have soar…

One solution would be to turn off mailing list mode for all users and enable summary emails. Those who really want mailing list mode would have to turn it back on. I imagine that most users aren’t opening them.

You can lower the “max emails per day per user” setting, but if people are expecting an email for every post this could get confusing for them. It would be worth considering changing email services. AWS SES is only $1 for 10K emails.

Yeah, “mailing list mode” is also “maximum pain mode”… there’s no real easy workaround here.
