GitHub has been sending me an email every two seconds.

On a GitHub repo that I was watching, some Chinese spammers created 60,000 issues.

The result seems to be a queue of 60,000 emails, steadily hitting my inbox for two days straight.

No amount of settings changes on GitHub makes a difference.

Nice work GitHub!

No idea what is happening, but ... What is the time recorded in the headers of the email?

In 2020 we had a weird Moodle server swap in the university. The server was sending confirmation emails when the users asked for it, but Yahoo! accepted only a few per day. So most messages were stored in the intermediate email server until the 5 days time to live expired.
