New cache notifications

My new cache notifications is set up to alert me whenever there is a new one placed within 50 miles of my home. However, when I recieved notification of a "new one" last night, I checked out the cache page only to discover that the FTF had occured 6 hours earlier!!

 

What gives?? I thought those notifications were supposed to occur the instant the caches were published. What good does it do to get a notice if the cache has been found by the time I get my notice? I mean, I'm not anal about being an FTFer, but I would like the opportunity to be first just once and that will be impossible if new pubs have already been located when I am first alerted to them.

Lots of things could be occurring.

 

1) The FTF could have gotten the cache coordinates from the cache hider before the cache was published.

 

2) Your ISP/email provider could be throttling emails from Groundspeak (this is very common).
