Emails are arriving out-of-order #2138

It seems that in some issue conversations where there is a message every 5-10 minutes, codeberg is sending out the notification emails both with a delay and in the wrong order.

The Date header seems correct, but Received is out of order.

On FastMail I believe there is no way to sort messages according to Date: https://www.fastmail.com/blog/default-sort-order-changed-to-received-date/

I mean, this is obviously not something Codeberg has to fix, I'm just wondering: Have other folks who use FastMail found a workaround for this issue?

Curiously I have never had this issue on GitHub even though they definitely had delivery delays. I wonder if they send mails in-order per-thread.

We are delaying notifications coming from new users to increase chances the mails can be caught in delivery, should they be reported as spam. I suppose this leads to the issues.

The blog post you shared goes into detail about how to configure this. I suppose you just need to follow it?

no, this was a conversation between codeberg members with very old accounts. all emails during that time were delayed irrespective of user. the blog post is out of date, these options don't exist anymore. either way I suppose there is nothing to do
