[Buildbot-devel] build email arriving a month later

[Quentin Arce]

Hmm, okay I'll double check how the with regards to build sets.

Anything else that could cause such an issue if a master or slave is having issues and is reset?
.... I'm guessing no...

Just to check the code looks like it uses a "defer" object.  I just want to confirm that this is just used for reporting the status of the twisted email client.
It doesn't actually defer transmission of some or all emails till a later time.  Correct?

If someone answers the above it would save me some digging time :-)

Thank you very much for your help.

Neither buildbot nor twisted do anything to save mail. The only
possibility I can think of, is that you have your MailNotifier
configured to send email on completed buildsets, and that you have had
builds waiting around for a month (due to a slave down possibly), that
just finished recently. If only one of the old builds failed, it may
appear as if it is sending out mail for just old builds.
