Cron not running for a year

Cron not running for a year

Hello,

We just migrated a Moodle 3.3 site that ran for about a year without cron. If we start the cron today, what is the easiest way to avoid multiple retroactive email notification to be sent to all users.

Getting 100 mails related to forum discussions that took place six months ago  might be a little annoying. I witnessed this once with Mahara (don't laugh).

Thanks in advance,

François

I'd set noemailever in your config.php, then run cron until all the emails have cleared. Then remove the noemailever setting from your config.php.
