I got that on my last 2 or 3 posts...then found out the posts actually went through and had to go and delete the double posts.

The DevChat was also acting up around the same time.


Edit: And now it's popping back up again....

I'm curious. I always thought smtp servers were for email.

Then the error message is probably related to the email notification function.

It may very well be, if it only happens in posts which are being followed.

EDIT: Confirmed. It's the e-mail notification system. I guess the SMTP server it uses to send the e-mails is down for some reason.

I don't think it's as simple as that. I am not following any threads, haven't sent any PMs, and haven't received any recently. I still get the error occasionally.... Never saw it before today.

The error occurs for all posters as soon as one person is following the thread, since every post is (or should be) mailed.

Cool! I can tell if people are following threads! For example, at least one person is following the word association game. I wonder why?

This one's being followed too by the looks of things.
