Preventing emails getting sent on ECA and other errors

Ritesh Trivedi
Hi,

I have experienced this situation several times where an email (some kind of notification email) such as order confirmation, completion, new user registration etc - gets sent multiple times because some eca or other step in the process fails.

Is there a way to prevent this from happening? obviously customers getting multiple duplicate emails is not desirable.

Seems like all these failures are stored in JOB_SANDBOX with a retry count etc. Can that be used to prevent this from happening?

I know these can be frustrating.
The best you can do is to search the Jira's for similar and add your
comments, or put in a Jira with steps that can be verified by doing it
on the demo or a localhost with the current Svn.
as far as solution, this is a community based operation, so any
expectation that it may be solved soon, is, hopeful but not actual.
it would probably happen faster if you researched it and came up with a
patch.

just my two cents.
