Hi,

I just sent out a newsletter to my 76 person email list. I have cron throttle set to 20 per cron.

I set cron to run ever 3 minutes, and after 12 minutes, 80 mssgs had been processed. i let cron run b/c i was doing other things and it kept writing to the log: "20 emails sent in 0.7 seconds." that went on for 30 minutes till i verified that duplicate emails were being received. one lady got 14 copies!

i immediately cleared the mail_spool table, and set the status to 2 to stop the sending, but as of now, with the 1/2/09 version, it seems not to be working.

test emails worked fine.

any more info i can give you?
thx,
m

The very last commit before RC1 introduced this error :( The attached patch will fix this and a similar bug in the subscription activate/deactivate functions too.

I could not wait with committing the patch and creating a new release. The patch is now included in RC2. Newsletters were sent multiple times because the only the first newsletter in a batch was marked sent, the others not. Please report your results.

All RC1 users should upgrade to RC2 immediately. RC1 will send your emails multiple times to the same subscribers.
