 * This plugin has been working correctly for some months but today a Post Notification
   did not get sent. It simply sat in the queue along with two other earlier notifications
   that were marked as Complete.
    Eventually I clicked the “release queue” button
   and the emails were sent. Now only this one is listed so was there a problem 
   with the previous notifications? Can you suggest why this might have needed manual
   intervention so I can prevent this in future?

 * I have had to deactivate and reactivate the plugin on more than one occasion 
   after it “lost” its WP cron tasks. I’m not sure why it can’t detect that and 
   put them back… We missed 3 weeks before I noticed and reactivated it. Then it
   messed up one of the notifications.
 * Makes me wonder if I should drop the wp cron and go to using it’s own cron task.
   Might be more reliable.

 * This is nothing new, I having this issue as well. First time I encountered it
   what was 2019!. Testing alternative plug-ins to solve this issue. I think it 
   has to do with the limit of 30 minutes instead of being send pretty much straight
   away. Tried all kinds of solutions… a clean install with this plug-in running
   and it’s still sits there for ages, more than 30 minutes!
 * What’s the point of a 30 minutes queue that often gets messed up and becomes 
   days long? Isn’t it just better that the email goes away as soon as possible?
 * Admin: Is there anything to be done about this?
