@scottalanmiller Gotcha!! thank you

No problem!

Are you using another cache in front of NodeBB? Like Nginx or CloudFlare?

Thank you. Also wondering whats the difference between self-hosting and paid version?

Almost entirely the need to host and manage on your own.

What sending mechanism are you using? Local SMTP? A service? We use MailGun and haven't seen an issue yet.

The out of memory may have been an independent issue. We use Sparkpost (as mentioned in the other thread).

Gotcha. Haven't used Sparkpost, don't know how they are. That would make sense if the memory was a different issue.

Any thoughts here? Anybody? Is there any user setting or database record that basically says, "do not send mail to this account?"

Yes, my users control this for themselves.

But if the email is bouncing; I don't want to leave it to the user who may never actually come back. I have a user base of 12k going back as far as 2003.

Understandable, maybe get a list from your email provider of what is bouncing, then write a script to pull those from the database?

There is a filter for unlinked assets that nothing is using. If it is not under there, it is in use somewhere.

So this sounds like Nginx is up, but NodeBB is down. Check your logs, what do they tell you has happened?

Why don't you use a service like mailgun which would take care of that for you ? I believe it is free for up to 10k emails per month.

This is what I use. They've been great.

@faizanzahid said in [nodebb-plugin-ns-points] NS Points, Forum Gamification:

Just want to confirm what is the difference between points and reputation???

Reputation is one kind of points. But there can be many. Number of posts is also a form of points, for example.

Points for getting an accepted answer would be another type.
