Description

mimemail is sending simplenews newsletters twice at a time (simplenews 5.1.4). I checked the logs to make sure it wasn't a cron issue. Any advice?
Thanks.

sorry I'm using simplenews 5.1.5.

php.ini file has
sendmail_path = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i"
Not sure if that has anything to do with it. I've recently updated my webserver to PHP5. I didn't have the problem in PHP4. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.

After the simplenews newsletter is submitted the following is displayed in the messages area . . .
----------------------
* Test newsletter sent to me@myemail.net.
* Test newsletter sent to me@myemail.net.
* The Newsletter issue has been updated.
-----------------------
This is reflected in the log as well.

Any chance this could be the mimemail module not working with PHP5 correctly because that's the only thing I've changes with my site?

I am also having the same problem... newsletter are being sent twice.
Some of my users have unsubscribe because of this (feels like spam).
Anyone could help with this?
Many thanks,

DB

Good to know I'm not alone at least. Thanks for making the issue critical. Now what do we need to do to get it looked at? I can't find anything in the code that would cause duplicate sends.

Perhaps this isn't due to Mimemail. I've had this happen and I am not using Mimemail. I only have Simplenews installed and I'm using Drupal 6.10. I tried sending out 3 test emails and one of them was sent twice. I cannot see anything different between the different test emails though.
