* Hi there, just sent an email out to a list (about 76 users) and now have received
emails / phone calls saying that they are receiving the emails continuously.
Some received the email around 30-35 times before I had deactivated the plugin
which has stopped the email sending out. I have another plugin that shows a send
log and it correlates to what the users are saying.
I am using Elastic SMTP API
as the sending server. The settings are set to use that server to send. There
is another option to use the default WordPress function to send emails.. I saw
in a similar support forum that you mentioned that to avoid this issue is to
use the default WordPress sending function, so should I be using that setting
in the Elastic SMTP settings moving forward? Although on another site, I am using
Elastic SMTP and am using that to send out from (in the settings) and have not
had the same issue sending multiple emails out.If I activate the plugin again,
will it start sending out the emails again and how would I check to see if that
could occur before activating?Thanks for your help.

* Hi Paul,
* Sorry about the issue you’re facing. As it isn’t something we can recreate, and
since it seems to be some kind of conflict with your setup, I can’t say with
any certainty whether or not reactivating our plugin would immediately start
sending out the emails again. It depends on whether or not they were already
queued. If you would like to make sure this doesn’t happen, I would not advise
reactivating the plugin on your live site at the moment.
* That being said, one thing you could do is delete the emails you created that
are currently stuck on sending. If the email doesn’t exist, there should be nothing
to send. Then, after that, you could run a new test by creating a new list that
has only some test email addresses on it, and no outside users/customers.
* Alternatively, do you happen to have a staging environment, or something similar,
where you can test this?
* Where are you adding the SMTP information? Directly in our plugin or do you have
a separate plugin managing the SMTP setup? I ask because we have an option in
our plugin that lets you enter your SMTP details. So, you’d want to make sure
that you are not adding it in two separate places. If you are using a separate
plugin to do it, does it make any difference if you set up the SMTP info in our
plugin instead of that one? What about vice versa?

* Hi,
* Same problem here with mostly thirty emails sent to thirty wordpress account
in a custom list.
* made a test list with three accounts, and one email sent to one account, two
emails the second and three to the last, always in this order…
* tested with SMTP configuration of “WP Mail SMTP by WPForms” or with your plugin’s
SMTP configuration, same weird results .

* Do all the duplicate sends show in the logs, or does each address get only one
entry in the log?
* What happens if you use no SMTP settings at all? Do you get the same behaviour?

* Yes, all the duplicate sends were shown.
* If I didn’t use SMTP, no mails were sent.
* Sorry, but I had to uninstall this addon, I will not be able to help debug further.

* Hello Ashish, did you get a chance to try what we’ve already suggested so far?
If so, what was the result?

* I’m experiencing the same issue as [@tsic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tsic/)
where multiple emails are being sent when using lists, some users got it an insane
amount of times!
* I tested with a smaller list of 4 users and just like [@tsic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tsic/),
the first email was sent once, the second email twice, third email 3 times and
4th email 4 times. I’m sending using WP Mail SMTP. I can’t use your SMTP settings
because I need Outlook 365 api to send. Only solution for now is to send emails
one by one. Please fix. It use to be working.

* I installed on a fresh WordPress install, I created a list of 2 users. I sent
an email to the list using WP Mail SMTP and without it, using only php mail.
In both cases 3 emails went out. 1 to the first user, and 2 to the second one.
There is something wrong. I downgraded all the way down to 1.1.1 and still same
issue. Maybe it’s an issue with with WordPress 6.2. I can’t believe nobody caught
that before. It should be easy to recreate the error. Here are screenshots of
the logs and the list used. 2 users -> 3 emails each time. When you have a list
of 40, the last one gets it 40 times!!!
* **Please fix ASAP!!**

* If, just as a test, in WP Mail SMTP, you temporarily set it back to the default
option and not Outlook, does that make any difference.
* Also, are you able to temporarily enable debugging in WordPress ([https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/debugging-in-wordpress/](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/debugging-in-wordpress/))?
Then send the email again and let me know if there is anything in the debug log
related to this. There must be some specific settings or configuration that is
causing this for you few users, as we can’t recreate it, and I’m hoping we can
get some information from the log that will help us track that down.

* My last tests, I was using strictly WordPress 6.2 and UWPM 1.2.1 and still the
same. No WP Mail SMTP, using only default php mail from the server.
* I enabled log like you suggested, here it is:

* Thanks for that. We were able to identify the issue, which was with the WP Background
Processing library we make use of to queue the emails, which had a new version
to correct this issue. We’ve just released a new version (1.2.2) with the update.

* Thank you [@jaysupport](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaysupport/), Works
great! Thank you for the fast turnaround, as you know for anyone with larger
lists it could have rapidly becoming a real problem!! 👍
* _Maybe something to consider in the next version: In AdminEmailLists.class.php,
to make it easier with our users, I changed line 162 in order to visually confirm
which email I’m actually adding to the list. This way by hovering the Name on
the left we can see the email address in a tooltip. I find it is very helpful
when users display names are not representative and this way it’s not disturbing
the layout at all. I did not bother changing the js but having it on the right
would be nice too!_ 🙂

display_name ); ?>

* Hi, I found another bug. When adding users to a list, if one of the users display
name contains an apostrophe it will create an issue when returning to the list
to edit. The selected user will prevent the Current Users list to show at all.
A Json list of the selected users is created in JS and stops on the first apostrophe
found therefore creating an error.
* ```wp-block-code
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unterminated string in JSON at position 4502
at JSON.parse ()
at HTMLDivElement. (ewd-uwpm-admin.js?ver=1.2.2:774:24)
```
* In this example, looking at the error, the json stopped at the apostrophe in
the name _Jack Daniel’s_
* ```wp-block-code
[{"id":123,"name":"First User (Bob Smith)"},
...
{"id":168,"name":"Great Company (John Smith)"},{"id":288,"name":"Jack Daniel
```
