When Apache times out, it kills the CGI process. The process meanwhile
has been queueing the invitations to be sent, so a bunch will be sent.

You could use the script at
<https://www.msapiro.net/scripts/list_pending> to list the pending
subscriptions. Some may have been accepted already, so the fact that one
isn't there doesn't mean it wasn't sent, but if you know the order from
the original input, you can probably figure how far it got.
