texte = I have had a few systems that send bulk emails using WebDNA however have run into BIG problems. The problem that arises (spam and all that stuff aside) is that sometimes one or two people in a mailing receive the email 60-80-100 times. The logs show only one instance being sent, I have tried using different SMTP gateways but keep coming back to the ONE common factor - WebDNA. My gut feeling is that there is a "bug" (?) in the process that sends the email to the SMTP server. After trying to sort out this problem with one client over a period of 3 years we have finally dumped the WebDNA solution. One of the Network Managers with my client noted that they had the same problem when they were using SendMail on Linux, I wonder if the engine in WebDNA has been borrowed from SendMail and therefore inheriting the problem. All my problems have been on Windows 2003 server platform.
