Hi Purus!

Users of my site who have no avatar are complaining about receiving hundreds of emails (1 email every 5 minutes). I have suggested them disable reminder notifications as a quick solution, but I would like to know what is wrong.

I checked my cpanel and cron job is running every minute and reminder notifications in plugin settings every 5 days.

This is the problem with the cron. The email logs are not cleared on time by the cron and so the emails stay on the table.

Oxwall cron? ... So what can I do? Should I disable the plugin reminder?

Purusothaman Ramanujam Oct 4 '13

The actual problem will not solve if you disable the plugin. There is some other problem, I guess.

Alberto MC Oct 19 '13

You're right, problem doesn't solved deactivating the plugin, users still complaining they are receiving hundreds of email every day, the advantage became disadvantage. I really need an advice to stop sending emails. Are you meaning the solution it's out of your hands? Is it an oxwall core bug? What can I do?

Purusothaman Ramanujam Oct 19 '13

As told its some where problem with your cron. Might need to analyze deep on this.

Alberto MC Oct 19 '13

then, is it a problem whith my hosting service? should I ask them for a solution?

Purusothaman Ramanujam Oct 19 '13

No.. it should be with your oxwall installation only.. not with hosting.

Alberto MC Oct 19 '13

Thanks Purus.

I deleted all rows on the ow_base_mail table where there were multiples repeated records and mass mailing stopped. I have deactivated Reminder Notifications plugin and what will happend if I activate the plugin again? Should the plugin or cron clean the table?

Work of the plugin is just to add an entry to the table. When you active the plugin you can monitor the entries.

Thanks. Then cron must delete the entries to the table? I will be monitoring the table but I think it will be a hard work to delete the entries manually. Maybe I need deactivate the plugin definitely till the next update of oxwall. It's a pity!

I don't think its a problem with oxwall either. Some other script or plugin might be causing this. This is my assumption.

Thanks again. I will deactivate all the plugins to test and I will activate one by one the see the one conflicts with your plugin.
