Re: Contact form sending twice

If a customer sends an e-mail via the contact form I receive it twice.
I also just tested the admin send email.
I sent an e-mail to a customer...1 copy received.
Sent an email to the administrator and got 2 copies received...

Re: Contact form sending twice

This may seem a silly question, but ... If you send an email with another program to that email address, do you still get only one copy?

Re: Contact form sending twice

Perhaps you have a "forward" set up for your 'info' account to send to another email address as well, thus leaving you with more than one in your main email program.

Re: Contact form sending twice

It is also possible that some SMTP servers might process the email twice for an unknown reason. It already happened to me with another PHP script as my Email server was, and still, requires SMTP Auth in order to be validated.

Patches was required specifically. However, before considering code modifications from includes/functions/functions_email.php file, you'd need to clarify if you also receive two emails from your 'Send email' page under your admin section - > tools - > Send email.


Alternative issue.

From your Email options, under your admin section - > configuration page, you might of also added your own email address into your dropdown's contact list which allows Zen-Cart to send the email twice. Is it the case ?

Please advise.

No only one e-mail listed...
I think it was an outlook issue...as I mentioned, I tested with the webmail and only one email was received...
Thanks for the reply !
