There have been several reports (and a vast number of bounces) from students complaining that they have been being "spammed" by email notifications from Moodle concerning new forum posts. Email-based forum update notification is an important tool for tutors to ensure that students are being made aware of topics they may need to be involved with or have knowledge of.
In the first instance, students who believe they are receiving an inordinate number of emails should enable the Digest option in their profile: Click on your name in the upper right of the page, select "Edit Profile", change "Email digest type" to "Complete" (if you want the text of posts included) or "Subject" (to only have subject lines), and then click "Update Profile". This will replace instant notification emails with a single, daily digest mail.
If this is still producing unacceptable levels of email, students experiencing issues should contact the course tutor(s) responsible for the forums generating the traffic, to discuss the option on removing forced subscription from the forums in question. The decision to retain or remove the subscription is the tutor's, and moodlesupport@cs.man.ac.uk will not remove it without tutor requests, as some may consider it a necessary setting.
