Having difficulty installing or customizing Elgg?
This is the group where Elgg users and developers can help other users and developers get answers to their questions.

Check the install troubleshooting page on the wiki for installation problems.
Check the Admin FAQ for many other common questions
I never send mass email.
The point it not so much that you send the mails, but the Elgg system sends them.
For example:
A new blog is posted in a group with 100 members. Than a notification will be send to those 100 members (depending on their notification settings) that the new blog was posted, this means 100 e-mails are send.
This happens for a lot of content, so if you have an active community a lot of notification can be send out every day.
If the system of your hosting provider doesn't like that it could block you. Maybe they offer a different (mail) plan to accommodate this situation.
Here is a link to the developer notes on notifications https://learn.elgg.org/en/stable/guides/notifications.html maybe this can help you understand where the notifications are coming from.
PS: i looked on one of our clients systems and with a 9k user base and around 300 concurrent users online that system generates around 14k messages a day.
whenever I am trying to update my Ubuntu's apache server to HTTPS, my Elgg server crashes....
Did anyone face this. Is there any workaround....
This sounds like a webserver issue, not an Elgg issue.
Do I need to change settings inside Elgg....
In the file 'elgg-config\settings.php' there is '$CONFIG->wwwroot' make sure this has "https://yoursite.tld/" that is all that has to be changed in Elgg.
Also I need to ask, do you have the steps to upgrade the installation of 5.3 to 6.X without deleting the data in the database...Fresh installation is not an option for me....
