Bombarded with kudoz mails! 投稿者: Diane de Cicco

|---|
I am being bombarded with kudoz e-mails for the same question over and over again (two question; 20 or more per question!) as if the system were programmed to send me the same e-mail every minute or had gone totally crazy. How can I stop this e-mail tropical storm?

...to ProZ.com staff; make sure to quote the URL of the question(s) affected. It is also useful to include the IP headers of any notification, so they can track the messages.
Best regards,
Ralf

The URL of the question affected is:
http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1145703
I have been timing it precisely: I get the same e-mail every two minutes. I have now received over 35 of the same!

Hi Diane
There is a possibility that, for some reason, your email client cannot delete the message from the server - as a result you would get it each time you retrieve the mail. This may happen in very rare cases if the message somehow gets corrupted.
The solution in this case is to get to the server using a webmail feature, and delete the message from there. Or manage to retrieve your mail from another client for once. For in... See more Hi Diane

The solution in this case is to get to the server using a webmail feature, and delete the message from there. Or manage to retrieve your mail from another client for once. For instance from http://proz.mail.everyone.net you can retrieve your mail from another server (go to "Options" / "Check external mail" /click on "Edit" and uncheck "leave mail on server")
If this is not the case, Ralf's advice is the only way to go.

Our logs show the message was queued up once. This is not a guarantee that the message was not sent to you multiple times by the mailer, but it is a pretty good indicator and we have not (yet) received complaints or support tickets from anyone else regarding multiple mailings today. I'll keep an eye out on our end, but you may want to check everything on yours too.

Many thanks to all for your replies. It looks as if the problem has stopped. It was propably due to a problem on the server.
