We could never reproduce such problem. I remember someone asked long time ago about the same, but we could never reproduce it or find the cause. I am sorry, I will not be able to help with this. It works fine for majority of users. If it doesn’t work for you you’ll need to choose a different plugin.
I disabled wp-cron.php by adding code in wp-config.php
define(‘DISABLE_WP_CRON’, true);
Then I manually set up a cron job in cpanel to execute wp-cron.php every 6 hours.
The problem of duplicate emails seems to be resolved! The problem has something to do with wp-cron or how WordPress executes it?

Hmm, this is weird because we don’t use wp_cron at all. But thanks for the feedback, I’ll dig into this
The person with that problem you’r referring to is me. We never got it solved and I had to withdraw the sequence of auto-responders.
I’ve turned it on again, as a test. The same problem happens with double-posting. The only other piece of information I can give which might be helpful to anyone is that the double-posting is recorded in the raw email log, where it duly notes having sent the same email twice.
Is that any help?

I was wondering if there has been any progress resolving this issue. Having the same exact problem with dupe e-mails. The solution of disabling the cronjob and setting it up manually doesn’t work for me exactly as we have a welcome e-mail sent with the same plugin and we want the user to receive the welcome e-mail immediately after registration. Obviously we could custom code something additionally or use an alternative plugin to send the welcome e-mail but that seems too dirty.
Just checking in, if there has been any updates on this issue as I also like the plugin and would really like to continue using it for this project.
Cheers,
Birk

The welcome email will be received immediately even if you disable WP_CRON.
There is no other solution than disabling WP_CRON.
