[server-admins] [CrossWire-Private] Server

[Peter von Kaehne]

Hi Guys,

The mailing lists seem to work again, which is nice.

What I would like to know is whether the wiki will send again emails.
Can someone explain to me what to look for? I have changed a page I
watch and I have set up email notification. So far I have received
nothing. Does the wiki sent notification emails in batches or is it
supposed to send it immediately?

Peter
