Hi

this would be a problem for me. I need this e-mail notification sent out without a user visiting the page to refresh it.

I have a few boards, that have not enough traffic. So maybe one user every 2 days finds the forum. Sending just the e-mail out, after 2 days of the original posting would be too late.

I know of a different forum-software (www.discusware.com), that has this e-mail reply functionality too. And they use also cronjobs for it. But I can schedule the cronjob, that because of the cronjob every 3 minutes it checks for new messages (no matter whether somebody hit the forum or not) and sends the e-mail out.

A. Could you implement this too?

B.

I need always to send out e-mails for around 500-1000 users with this for each vb-borad I have on the same server. I have several vb-boards on the same server. And each board needs to send those e-mail to this number of people for each vb-board.

Would be the mailserver/serverload because of this to be too high? I use a dedicated server.

Thanks in advance
