    More than one person has emailed me about this. When they click on the link to manage their subscriptions they then receive hundreds of emails about managing their subscriptions. At count one user received over 500 emails. I’ve posted on GitHub about this issue and hopefully it will be fixed soon since I’ve had to disable the plugin until it is fixed.

    My host also checked it out. After doing more research (er, checking when the last update was), it may not even be this plugin but a conflict with the plugin Postman SMTP which was updated a month or so ago. I’ve switched to WP Mail Bank but since I cannot replicate the massive emails myself it’s hard to know if that was the problem until it happens to someone again.

    Now tha you mentioned, StCR is having issues Postmant SMTP, I noticed the author of that plugin but did not reply to me with a Detail Answer. Postman SMTP works in some hosting providers and some others not. I unistall it in some sites.

    I subscribe in your website but there are not hundreds of email in my account.

    Ah, so it may have been Postman all along. Ok, will just stick with Mail Bank unless you have another suggestion for an SMTP plugin that has no problems with StCR?

    So far I have only detected Postman SMTP.

    Ok, thanks for your help!

    You’re Welcome !

    Hello

    Same think happen to me too, several users received 600+ emails!

    I have both your plugin and postman smtp installed on my wordpress.

    Reedyseth do you manage to solve this issue with postman smtp please?

    Thank you

    Hi @neoseeyou,

    Not so far, because StCR is working OK, is just how Postman SMTP handle the deliveries. Also I have a version on development that logs the emails that are sent, if you are confortable I can share with you the development repository and make sure that StCR is not sending that massive amount of emails.

    Same think happen to me too, several users received 600+ emails!

    How many subscribers do you have on this case/post?

    Sorry for long answer.

    Actually only few users received these mass emails, apparently no new users complain about that.

    Hi @neoseeyou,

    Alright, I will keep an eye on this to see if more users report this kind of behavior.

    Hey Reedyseth,

    I got exactly the same problem with your plugin but I don’t use Postmant SMTP.

    Kind regards

    @reeve,

    Would you like to try a development version? Many fixes have been added.

    Regards.!!

    I believe this issue popped up for me today as well. I see another user was using the same SMTP deliver plug-in as I so I’ll investigate switching.

    This morning I received over 100 “Manage your comment subscriptions on Second Run Reviews” and delivery errors for the same email address within a 40 minute window. This address did not leave any comments.

    It happened again this evening and I received over 170 emails with a different email address requesting the same thing. Once again there were no emails connected to that address.

    My site is secondrunreviews.com.

    Hi Terri,

    Would you mind forwarding me one of those emails so that I can checkit out, send it to reedyseth {at} gmail {dot} com

    I also subscribe to one of your post to see if I receive also thoese emails.
