Hi all,

Is it possible to optimize the digest period per thousands of community? Every Monday Discourse sends a few thousand emails in 1-2 seconds which leads to SPAM problem with our custom mail server.

How to reset “last\_digest\_time” per account and normalize it to the other thousand accounts?

The goal is to have 100-200 digests per day instead of 5K on Monday. We’ve been using Discourse for the last 4 years, maybe there is a problem with an upgrade which we do very often to the latest release.

Also, maybe there is a hint on how to access Postgress of Docker image and where “to update” records in DB.

Thanks in advance!
