There was a little problem last week where my whole ISP got listed on a spamming blacklist (monkeys.com), and a few sites that rely on monkeys.com were bouncing back mail from my server
I'll keep an eye on it.
Issue re: profile page is missing all of my earlier "discussions started by" posts. Also much of the breadcrumb links are not evident on this new "low-content" profile page. I'm unable to reproduce this anomaly while viewing any other profile. Screenshot is me checking my profile using IE6

Hey!
I was a little to fast -
It seems to happend only at the news forum at the front page - when that forum is set to all get email from this forum - then all users get 2 copies of each posting in this forum. The forums in the courses seems to behave ok.
As it takes 30 min. plus to get email from the forumpostings I am not absolutly shure about this...

real double posts ... sometimes people hit "back" and submit again, which causes double posts ... later after these are sent out they delete one of the copies.
multiple subscriptions ... under different accounts.
Rick's example implies to me that he has two separate accounts set up with different timezones.

Interestingly they have different information in the headers ... perhaps it's a phpmailer bug. I'll look into it.
Exists the possibility that the cronjob is repeated without and with cpanel ????

One is the normal one on moodle.com, using command-line PHP every 6 minutes.
The other was running on the OLD moodle.org host and used wget to call moodle.org via the web ... I closed that account months ago but somehow phpwebhosting.com never got around to deleting it! (I've now logged in there and deleted the cron job.)
The duplicate mails were occurring when the two jobs would strike the cron script at exactly the same second ... the first script would not have time to flag in the database that it processed a particular post already and so the second script would go ahead with processing it again.
Even though the forum module restricts this processing to once every 60 seconds, there is still a possible problem - someone could hit the script repeatedly and very occasionally be able to cause this double-mail situation. So it may be wise on bigger servers to restrict access to the admin/cron.php script only to trusted machines.
This can be done under Apache by making a .htaccess file in the admin directory with something like this in it:
<Files cron.php>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 111.222.333.444
</Files>
where the IP address is the address of the machine that needs to call the cron script.
