Never heard of this issue before.

Maybe a problem with refreshing the page, will need to look into it.

ANYONE have a clue???? I have tested so many times now... and I always get THREE welcome emails... Maybe I will look for another program. But this should be perfect for me because I already bought the FORUM license.

Never heard anything like this before and can not see how this can happen.

It could be some issue with your mail server which is duplicating the email and sending it 3 times.

I have been through the code again and again and can see no way this can happen unless there is some wierd issue with your mail server.

Also are you sure all the emails are to the same address and contain the same information. The reason I ask is that different emails can be sent out depending on your settings.

For example if you require activation on a new account then 1 activation email will be sent out, followed by a welcome email when the activation link is clicked to activate the account.

Another option is for the NewsPad admin to activate the account which would mean an activation email would go to the NewsPad admin and once the NewsPad admin has activated the account a welcome email is sent to the subscriber.

Are all the emails exactly the same?
What is in them?
What setting and notifications settings do you have in your admin area?

All emails are exactly the same, as in the exact content set up in the welcome email in admin.

All other emails are received as in the subscription confirmation but as soon as you click the confirmation link, the mail servers receives 3 emails to send to the recipient.

In newspad config everything is off apart from:

Web Front End
Allow New Subscriptions
Email Activation of Subscription

Encrypted Passwords

I think I may have worked out why this is happening only in the free version.

The free version has Google Ads and when you visit and page with Google Ads so does the google Adsense spider to workout what ads to display on that page. The Google Adsense spider is coursing the page with the activation code to be triggered 4 times thus sending out the multiple emails.

This is why the paid version is not affected with this issue.

If you edited in notepad the SQL Query at line 89 in the activate.asp file and change it to that below it will fix the issue with the free Express Edition:-


strSQL = "SELECT " & strDbTable & "Members.* " & _
    "FROM " & strDbTable & "Members " & _
    "WHERE " & strDbTable & "Members.ID_Code = '" & strUserID & "' " & _
        "AND " & strDbTable & "Members.Active = " & strDBFalse & ";"
