Maybe he needs to limit games. Problems never used to happenwhen there were fewer games.Or they occurred with much less frequency.
With more games you have more emails. Llamabeast's popularity has caught up with him.:):)

200+ so far!!!:)

Re: Llamaserver: I´m being mailbombed!
 

If I just had read this thread before I sent my turns in... :D

Re: Llamaserver: I´m being mailbombed!
 

That's what I expected, too, that one would soon hit technical limitations, but my doubts were diffused. :rolleyes: Maybe it would be a good idea to make the server remember that he already sent out an email, and not send it again a second time an hour later.

Re: Llamaserver: I´m being mailbombed!
 

Like I said, it most likely is a problem with the email server, not llamaserver. Llamaserver reads all *NEW* emails from its mail server and process them. If the mail server somehow does not mark those mail as *READ* (in case of imap or exchange server and alike) or *DELETE* those emails (in case of pop), then llamaserver will just have to reprocess all those emails *AGAIN AND AGAIN*. It should have nothing to do with number of games running. That will only affect the response speed, as more emails are received per minute and more turns need to be resolved.

Re: Llamaserver: I´m being mailbombed!
 

Llamaserver is not resolving turns either. For the last 24 hours or so the page for FallenKingdoms shows that all turns are in, but the game isn't hosting (quickhost is on).

Re: Llamaserver: I´m being mailbombed!
 

well, when llamaserver detects a problem it is set to not host the games, so that seems to be working as intended :)

Re: Llamaserver: I´m being mailbombed!
 

Lch is right. There is a bug in various mail servers that if *all* mail is not downloaded, it resets the pointer from the server and reprocesses the same messages again and again. It can rather quickly consume bandwidth and diskspace.

revenge of the llamaserver
 

It's finally gone mad. For years and years it has suffered spam from us, and yet still wrote neat little replies to all of it: "I've received a pretender from you, and everything seems to be fine." or "I've received your turn, but there seems to be a problem." Now it has finally lost it.

For revenge it is spamming the mailboxes of its oppressors with its neat little notes. Feel the llamaserver's pain.

Re: revenge of the llamaserver
 

i have this friend who had a girlfriend who sent him so many emails that a new folder was made just for them by the email service provider, it was so funny when he showed me, in this order it showed Inbox, Outbox, Spam, Deleted messages, CLAUDIA.

wonder if the same will happen because of llamaserver's spam.
