# postie widget – empty tmptitle posts

 * Not sure how to determine what the max email size or timeout of the PHP process
   for transferring the email content to a post is (that causes the empty tmptitle
   posts to be created). but this can result in a huge amount of erroneous post 
   entries pending what the check time is set for. For example, if the email is 
   set to check every 5 min, then the result would be many thousands of tmptitle
   posts generated within just a few days. That said, is there a way that an email
   can be generated and sent to a specified address when a tmptitle post is generated
   due to this type of error? Is there a way to automatically have the tmptitle 
   post removed or deleted if the content is empty (for whatever reason)?
 * Just trying to find a work-around or bandaide to avoid 10’s of thousands of blank
   tmptitle posts being generated – if the email account is checked on a weekly 
   or biweekly basis causing these post entries to pile up.

 * You shouldn’t be getting any tmptitle posts or very few at the most.
 * Please install the support addon [https://postieplugin.com/downloads/support-addon/](https://postieplugin.com/downloads/support-addon/)
   and collect some logs and send them to me as documented on that page.
 * I’ll take a look and see what we can do to eliminate the issue.
