Email notification for completed jobs

2005-08-18 03:01:03 | johann | #

Since yesterday, an automated email will be sent when all browsershots for a given URL have been uploaded. The recipient address is guessed from the URL: notifications for www.example.com will be sent to webmaster@example.com. It is quite surprising how many people ignore RFC 2142 and reject messages for the webmaster.

I have disabled notification emails completely, for the following reasons. If somebody asks for it, I may set it up as an opt-in service where you can choose your notification email address.

  • No positive feedback so far.
  • It's unsolicited mail, sort of.
  • Many sites reject mail for webmaster.
  • Large queue of rejected mails increases server load.
