We have a custom list in SP2010 Foundation with about 40 columns. The list is currently at about 9,000 list items. This list has about 20 views and about 5 of the views are used to notify different employees that they have a task waiting on them. Essentially sign up for the alert on the view that is relative to them and where the people picker for a column is equal to them ([Me]).
This has and continues to work flawlessly for all those that have already been set up with these alerts. However, we've recently ran into an issue where people who did not previously have the alert set up and now want it are receiving invalid alerts for things that are not equal to them in the people picker. Have we reached some kind of limit? Or bug? The bad alerts are almost random dealing with list items that wouldn't mistakenly have been assigned and then re-assigned.
This is all pretty much out of the box SharePoint from a configuration standpoint.
Thanks,
Oliver
