Since upgrading to the new version, when a post is published, many users are getting upwards of 5-6 emails per post. I am not sure if this is a related to being subscribed to a parent category or and subsequent child categories though.

Please advise.
Hey Larry,

I checked the mail activities of the site and there are actually no duplicates there. I am presuming that you are getting duplicates because the cronjob may have overlapped one another. What is the duration of the cron service?

Hi Larry,

30 minutes would be too long for the notification to reach to your subscribers. I suggest you to put 15 minutes interval instead and see how it goes.

Hey Larry,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. What if you set it to 30? Can you see if you are getting duplicates at 30 minutes?

User subscribed to a category today and I got 5 emails about it. Not sure if that is related to the cron or not, but still multiple emails.

Update: never mind, looks like he subscribed to 5 categories very quickly.

30 seconds seems to have reduced the emails from 5-6 down to 3. I will try upping the time again.
