rifleman223, thanks for the offer.
The issue isn't with the SMTP mail server though. The issue is with the forum software.
Say you have email notifications enabled for an entire forum and 1,000 people subscribe to that forum. When any post, or reply, is made in the forum, the software will need to send all 1,000 emails out before the post is finally completed. In short, every post would take 30+ seconds to complete. The ride club section isn't as heavily posted to as the main areas of the site that is why that section has it enabled.
The next version of the site will have full email capabilities. [/emoticons/emotion-2.gif]
