Just received around 500 email notifications

For some reason I just received all notifications I've ever gotten from July till today, including forum posts, tech notifications, updates to my tickets etc.... to my macosx.com mail account.

Did someone else also get this??
Is something wrong with the server Scott?

EDIT: around 800 emails now.....

Wow - must have had Mail working overtime. Scott was changing over to new software for the site.

Glad I got up early! Something went haywire with the new year! I will take a look.

Ferdinand - I do not see anything that points to this at this time. Hopefully, if it is not an isolated case, others will be venting on me soon and I might be able to resolve this or find the cause.

You know first I thought those were all old notifications I never received, so the server was basically just "catching up" - but actually I got all those emails already so I ended up having them double. I don't know why it happened - just all of a sudden all these old mails came, incl. ones you sent out, so it wasn't only automated notifications.

But it doesn't really matter Scott - as long as this won't happen every month from now on!

Well today I just received 900 emails from macosx.com!!!!
They're all emails I've ever gotten from August till today - even though I've received them already, and before, so they're all duplicates of the duplicates.
I have this feeling that this will get very annoying after time!!

Please please try to fix this Scott!!

Thanks!!

EDIT: Exactly 1109 emails now!!

Must be a cron that runs on Monday mornings.

Can you tell me what time (GMT) the first one started?

Errr, It's Tuesday. Duh.
