    Thank you for the great plugin,It really reduced my lots of work.I have both premium and free version of a plugin,I need your help to little bit customization,I have a subscribers form at my site.
    when users fills the form,he can select multiple list to subscribe.at the back end I can create a news letter for multiple lists and also I can create a post for multiple lists i.e. categories.
    for example – suppose a user subscribed for list A and B.I create a news letter for list A and B and choose the option “Automatically sent… = Immediately”. After that I created a post for list (categories) A and B,then as soon as I clicked publish button,it will news letter to the subscribed user for list A as well as list B.Hence replication of the same news letter to the same subscriber.
    I want to avoid this situation,I don’t want to send same news letter to the same user more than once.
    your help will be really appreciated.

    can anyone reply me please?

    I was looking at the exact same thing right now… Apparently it will be sent only once (no matter if the contact is in multiple lists). See this reference: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/newsletter-sent-only-once-to-subscribers-to-multiple-lists

    Cheers!

    Hello emgsilva,

    Thanks for your timely reply,but my problem is quite different,I am sending post as a news letter to the subscriber.I have created post categories same as news letter lists.
    let me explain you step by step what I did –
    1.I created post categories – real estate,technology,share market.
    2.then I create news letter lists – real estate,technology,share market.Hence my post category and lists having the same name.
    3.then I create a news letter for list say – real estate,technology.And one of my subscriber has subscribed for lists – real estate,technology.
    4.Finally when I add new post with category real estate,technology and click on publish button,it is sending same post twice to the subscribed user.Because user subscribed for two lists i.e. real estate,technology and the post I created also belongs to real estate,technology categories.So it is sending this post twice to the subscribed user.I want to send it only once.

    can I set email status = 0 or 1 or sent in the database so that it won’t send the same post more than once.please help me.

    Best Regards
    Sachin Vairagi.

    That’s correct!

    To recap:

    1. User X is on list A and B

    2. You send a newsletter to list A and B

    3. User X receives only 1 email

    Closing…

    But will Mailpoet combine the two lists, when the content is different?
    User X subscribed to “real estate”
    User Y subscribed to “technology”
    User Z subscribed to “real estate” and “technology”

    Is it possible to send only one e-mail to user Z containing messages of both categories/lists?
