Too many emails

    Hi there,

    I’m having problems with too many emails. A few weeks ago I translated 70 posts by duplicating them with WPML. I didn’t realize that Subscribe2 will send notifications on every published post. So I didn’t disable it. My bad. A lot of emails were sent. Oh snap.

    So will Subscribe2 send a notification email after both posts, the original one and the translated version?

    Then I changed the settings to make Subscribe2 send only weekly digest emails. The emails were sent yesterday. Why did one user receive 70 emails today? The emails were notifications of new blog posts. All were different. I’m a bit confused.

    Thanks!

    Ok I got more info on this topic. The emails are the same emails that were sent a few weeks ago. I changed the template since then so that’s how I know.

    And I think the emails were sent on my localhost. Is that possible? The {PERMALINK} tag printed a localhost address. I haven’t touched the site on my localhost since the spamming.

    Thanks!

    @luovajohtaja,

    Subscribe2 and WPML do not currently work very well together, your readers will get duplicate emails for each language. I’m working on making Subscribe2 more compatible but it’s taking a lot of work and as this is unpaid that means it’s also taking a long time.

    The localhost issue may well be down to queuing in your server mail queue.

    Thanks for your quick response!

    How can I make sure that the localhost doesn’t send those emails again? Because the one user got the same emails also few weeks ago. I’ve disabled the plugin. Does that do the trick?

    Thanks for your great support!

    @luovajohtaja,

    Yes, disabling the plugin will stop future emails from sending. You might also want to see if you can find and clear the local host mail queue.
