Yes - as expected. I subscribe to changes for all content types
(always have). As of Drupal 5, notifications finally work again for
new forum posts again though - they had stopped working in Drupal 4
about a year ago.

How often are cron jobs? I know that it combines multiple notification
updates into a single email now - and if we lengthen the time between
cron jobs, maybe that will save on emails (even though it will still
be a huge number per cron job - it will be less often).
Otherwise, yes - maybe set a limit per cron job, and then have the
cron jobs take place more often to spread out the emails a bit?

Perhaps a larger number of notifications are being sent to gmail users
now and this has caused some sort of trigger for gmail's spam engine
to start flagging them as such. In any case, if enough people report
it as "not spam" (as I just did) - perhaps it will reverse the effect.
