 BACKEND TODO / SYSTEM FOR RAVEN
 
 
-TODO: need a utility that can hash any adhoc collection of fields to work with various notify related objects
-	(NOT RELIABLE UNFORTUNATELY, JUST CHECK MULTIPLE FIELDS INSTEAD)
-TODO: Never creates a duplicate APP or EMAIL notify, so checks in history log before sending
-TODO: HASH (NOT RELIABLE UNFORTUNATELY, JUST CHECK MULTIPLE FIELDS INSTEAD) uniquely identifies a notification delivery and it's logged with the history so before a new delivery is sent it's compared to the delivery log and if it was sent
-	in the last 90 days then it skips it.  This will avoid duplicated emails or runaway notifies etc.
-	Hash needs to be unique to the destination user, teh source object and the event type exactly, if there is any difference then it should not hash the same
+TODO: check before any thing that might create a dupe
+todo: have removed the old v7 SMTP retry deliveries for simplification
+	instead, it will now act as if this is always set to true
+		Probe email server first if can't contact then skip smtp delivers (same as v7 when this setting true)
+		New: will make every effort to err on the side of assuming delivery happened in any issue during delivery
+			This will be one way to ensure it doesn't pile on the emails because of some spurious issue that actually delivered but it seemed like it might not have
+		User will be able to go into notifyevent table adn remove any items they don't want delivered in case of issue
+
 TODO: import v7 needs to create users for each contact and set their default for deliveries of notifications based on old region and send notification setting
 	Make a case for this and or implement it with this work so it doesn't get lost
