That might work at first, but you'll very quickly be overrun by bots and spammers.

Assuming these emails aren't just getting lost - e.g. sent to people's spam folders - then you need to start worrying about why it takes so long to send them out. As the forum gets busier it will start sending more and more emails and if it's not working right things won't get any better.

If you're on a shared server the first thing you need to look at is server loads.
