in thread Can I get emails when somebody responds to my PerlMonks post?

This would cause much traffic

Only if everyone did it, and then at a high rate. I would figure refreshing (automatically) once ever 15 minutes would suffice, and not cause much hurt to the server.

Does that make sense?

      ++; but since chacham's proposed solution uses javascript, that notification would probably not be mail, but a popup or something different. And this gave me the idea of sending a notification via IRC or XMPP or similiar protocol. Of course, except for the blacklist probability being lower, the other problems mentioned in tye's Re^3: Email notification of replies pertaining to me (work) would still remain.

        I have no experience with blacklists, we had about 50 posts yesterday, I'm not sure if this would be enough traffic for getting blocked.

        NB : The monastery already sends password reminders via email.

        OTOH, as soon as we have answer notification, people will start asking for message forwarding, too ... and this could really cause traffic. :/
