Overview
Comment:Disable backoffice timeouts. This is a temporary measure to avoid a horrible bug in which a timeout causes the email notification sending process to exit before recording the fact that notifications have already been sent, and thus causing the same notifications to be sent again on the next backoffice cycle, and so forth over and over and over.
