    Hello.
    I want to know if repeated notifications would negatively impact one’s server/website resources. Some hosting servers have restriction on number of messages that can be sent out.

    I have a custom Q & A theme and wondered if your plugin will work with it in the following scenarios:
    – where new answers are given a question (sending notification to person who asked question), or
    – where a reply to a someone’s answer is posted (sending notification ONLY to the person who posted the earlier reply about this new reply)
    – where a reply to a post (sending notification to author of post)

    Also, if subscription to posts/question category is allowed, so that notification of new post or question is given to persons who subscribe to them.

    Thank you.

    Hi, yes, it can be potentially harmful, especially when you consider that each recipient has own email. I’d recommend using Mailgun or SendGrid for which we have the extensions. They are using API calls so can handle multiple emails.

    The Subscriptions extension is planned, but I’m not sure if we’ll be able to release this quarter.
