Fazli added a new discussion topic mass mail sending in line with my "noreply@ahalim.com" e-mail address.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....

mass mail sending in line with my "noreply@ahalim.com" e-mail address.

Guys I don't know if you are facing this issue, 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.... Do I need to change settings...The caracter number in the plugin "wire"
As an administrator, I have set the character count in Wire settings to 250. When I try to shoot a simple message with more characters than 227, I get the message "Excuse me. We were unable to save this wire post."ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS
When I try to delete a member which I suspect on his spam works such as bookmarking, creating groups, I sometimes get the message "This page is not working right now. ahalim.com has redirected you too many times. Try deleting your cookies"...
