Invision Power Board - emailing all members problem

Jaina · August 4th, 2008, 8:39 AM

I've come across a problem with emailing all my members of my board, using invision power board software. I only have a couple hundred members, but whenever i try and email the members the email gets sent to everyone around 10 times!

As you can imagine this can be quite annoying for me and the members. Especially the members.

I've put the number of members the cycle sends email down to about 25 per hour, but it doesn't seem to help.

This has only happened since i moved my hosting to surpass, which is a bit weird...

Have you checked the headers of a few copies to be sure that they are first generation copies and not bounces (or add a unique serial number to one set and see how many copies you create per run.)

how would i go about putting in a unique serial number?

Though, i have tested sending the email out to just the moderators in the past. There's only about 5 of them. And those only ever get sent out once to each of them. Which really isn't helping matters!
