Funny message when reply to a topic

Had these message come up, sorry no screen shot, in the forum. I replaced actual emails with xxxNoticeSMTP Error: The following recipients failed: xxxx@xxxx.com: : Recipient address rejected: Policy Rejection- Quota exceeded. help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/215...MTP-quota-limitsSMTP Error: The following recipients failed: xxxx@xxxx.com: : Recipient address rejected: Policy Rejection- Quota exceeded. help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/215...MTP-quota-limitsSMTP Error: The following recipients failed: xxxx@xxxx.com: : Recipient address rejected: Policy Rejection- Quota exceeded. help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/215...MTP-quota-limitsSMTP Error: The following recipients failed: xxxx@xxxx.com: : Recipient address rejected: Policy Rejection- Quota exceeded. help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/215...37-SMTP-quota-limits

 

e-mail?

It looked like forum admin emails, hence the reason I xxx them out.

I sent Andy & Rod an email with a screenshot, hoping that they may be able to forward it on to someone that knows about the forum.
It happened before all the "crack spam" was removed and was concerned that something "bad" may have happened.

I think it was transient and due to  the forum sending too many emails for the quota on whatever email platform is used by the forum.
I did recognise Tommy and Snowgoer from the screen dump you sent me, Both are pretty prolific posters.
I rarely subscribe to threads.

We (mods and admins) get e-mail notifications for every post, always, so from 50 to over 100 daily.

It was related to the number of recipients per message, not total emails per day.
ie: no more than 5 recipients per message.

I was more concerned with why I was seeing it, since I'm just a pleb

I have no clue why you saw that or what it means... another of life's mystery's I guess. And oddly enough the spell checker is working here.

Saw this happen recently as well, both when I started a new thread here: 
forum.linuxcnc.org/27-driver-boards/5795...done-lights-on-7i92m  
And when I updated my thread here:
forum.linuxcnc.org/12-milling/57928-conv...5-to-linuxcnc#339302

Screenshots attached,  hopefully this helps with troubleshooting!

We are getting battered by spam, today and yesterday i spent from 5:30AM to 7:20AM deleting and banning at a staggering rate, so we are way over our e-mail sending quota, hence the messages.
I did activate a small barrier, so should subside quickly.
Thank you.

No problem, thanks for your work on moderation - I know it's constant and often thankless. Appreciate you keeping the forums free of spammers and more use to us all as a result!
