ad to disable about everything that could result in a mail in the forum settings
That would be an option, however, as you can read, it also happens with the password reset emails. I can't disable those.
@Arieh Correct, but I have it like that since the beginning, and also like that on other Xenforo forums.
The first option only creates a watch, which only creates local (forum) notifications (like on the bell on the upper side on the forum), the "and receive email notifications" take care that I also get an email about it when a new reply is placed.
This option is only when I create a topic myself, like now.
Samen goes for the email notification on conversations. I would like to be notified by email, always had worked like this.
I could temporarily disable them, but I don't want it to start again on enabling again. And like said, this does not explain the repeated mails about the password reset email.
These stopped for now, but I'm almost sure they will start again. Also it does not explain why this sometimes happen with some users. As you can read it also happened to
@sysdev so it looks like a bug in the forum software.
Due to the date/times I presented for both thread, pm's and password reset notifications, DA should be able to verify in the Exim log that their system is sending those repeated mails, and put in a bug report with Xenforo.
