Jul 3, 2026, 2:25 PM@ralfmaximus I've seen as little as 5 minutes. Like seriously, I only poll my mail server every 10. Also, I'm not going to wait around for the damn email, I have other things to do. Make that timeout 4 hours and I'll see if I can get back to whatever it is I wanted to do by then. [mutter, grumble]
@alan @ralfmaximus
I was trying to sign up to a library and their codes expired in 5 minutes. It took like 4 or 5 tries because it kept taking like 8 minutes to get the email.
Jul 3, 2026, 3:05 PM@jargoggles @ralfmaximus Yup. And of course all those repeated requests further increase load on the mail system, slowing delivery.
I swear sometimes the title of my ticket is "has anyone actually tried using this??"
