ICal sends multiple emails for invites and updates to event attendees - HELP!

Every time I create or send an event in iCal, it sends multiple emails to each attendee (2-3 duplicate emails) with the same event. So if I have 3 event invitees, they get 3 emails each. All the emails are sent from the correct account in Apple Mail, and the calendar itself shows only one email address for each attendee, but for some reason the sent folder shows that each person was emailed 2-3 times. This is causing quite a problem for work, as any invite I send is clogging up inboxes with duplicate and triplicates for each attendee.
When I send a meeting acceptance, it only sends one reply, so I have no idea why it's duplicating or triplicating events when new ones are sent out or udpated by me. I can't delete my calendar without losing important events from clients or what not, so I'm not sure what to do.
Also notable:
I am NOT using iCloud calendars as I needed to create a calendar group and iCloud didn't support that.
My calendar is syncing to an FTP so that people in my main office can view and download my calendar as needed.
I am on a brand new (not even 2 mos old) MacBook Pro Retina 2013 model, with OS X 10.8.3
I am on Calendar 6.0
I can't change/update events on my calendar from one sub-calendar to another once they are created (though I can edit on my iPhone and resync). This is really annoying and I've posted about this before to no avail (thread here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21646850#21646850 and here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3920017?start=0&tstart=0).
For now (for this thread) I'd like any help possible in getting my calendar to send just ONE email to meeting attendees when I create and/or update an event.
Thanks!

I have the same issue. Did you get a resolution to this? Whenever I add a new person to the meeting invite iCal always resends the entire invite...it should just send the invite to newly added participants.

SharePoint 2013 - SPD Custom Workflow keeps sending multiple emails for a single Task

I have a workflow triggering on List item created only. There are multiple stages in the work flow and in each stage a single task is assigned to a group of people. Currently group is only having one user i.e. my own test user with a valid email address.
Workflow was running fine for first 5 runs but now it keeps sending multiple emails for each task multiple times and runs very slow. I have only single workflow in development server with 24GB RAM.
Enabling the Workflow log in Event viewer does not show any error or warnings. The only clue I see is WorkFlowManager Database table "DebugTrace" having multiple entries showing that WF is trying to send same email multiple times with failed attempts,
but in reality emails are being delivered as well.
http://server/site/_vti_bin/client.svc/sp.utilities.utility.SendEmail Retry sending email in xx.xx.xx Status: HTTPRetrying
http://server/site/_vti_bin/client.svc/sp.utilities.utility.SendEmail Retry sending email in xx.xx.xx Status: HTTPFailed
I could not get the exact phrase as I don't have direct access to development machine at work.
Any help or guidance will be highly appreciated.

Yes, I have on-premise SP site, and here is the actual log I see in DebugTraces table.

Sending multiple email for free goods item category??

Hi,
we have requirement to send email (Z report in smartforms) automatically when sale order save in tcode VA01/VA02.
we made reqd config in tcode NACE and we set access sequence on ORDER TYPE and it's working fine. but the problem is that when order booked for item category free goods it sends multiple emails. (i.e. no. of line items = no. of email) for one order no. All other item category is working fine. only problem with the free goods.
I am an abaper. all config are made with the consent of SD consultant.
pls help.
thanks
Radhashyam Sahoo.

If you are an ABAPer, then it sounds like you simply need to debug the processing to identify where/why the fault occurs. As for the NACE settings, you should understand the config as well as your functional counterpart. It will make you a better developer and help you understand the processing code.

Users sends multiple emails for one email to be received

I have a user who states that she has to send multiple emails to a customer before she one is able to get through. She doesn't receive a bounce back from them. I recently suggested she remove an images from the emails, we have a corporate logo
that can be used in our signatures, as many of her customers are government and I figured they may be blocking the emails for this reason. Nothing seems to have helped and she still seems to be having the issue. This also occurs sometimes for some
of her customers and other times with others, so it doesn't seem specific to the customer. I have repaired Office and run a virus scan, the scan came up with minimal malware and removed it.

Send an email for an Applet....please help ..

hello guys...
i have an applet that works much like an HTML form...
it is a form for products and after having filled that the information has to be updated to the database and the concern people of the company should get an email for the same ....
how can i send that mail from this Applet... !?!?
hope someone has some idea about it.. !!!
please help..

You should be able to use JavaMail from an applet. The general outline would be the same as from a stand-alone application. However make sure you read the notes (found in %JAVAMAIL_HOME%/NOTES.txt once you install JavaMail) to know about some issues associated with using JavaMail from applets running certain browsers.

Today is April 10, 2013. I try to login to iTunes connect and I keep getting the message "An error has occurred processing your request. Please try again later or send an email for assistance." It never tells us what email address we need to write to.

The problem was solved by Apple Technical Help. The process is as flollows:
1. Open Safari
2. Menu item Safari-Reset Safari - remove all website data - reset
3. Now if you try to login on iTunes connect it will work.

It's currently taking me ages to send multiple emails as I'm having to copy and paste the email each time. Does anyone know if there is a way that I can send the same email several times but that can be addressed (Dear....) to different people?

Oh at least just duplicate the same email several times so all I will be maunally inserting each time will be the address/name??? Please help!!!

Using the send by Email for Review function

We are using Adobe Acrobat 8 and would like to use the send by Email for Review function. We would like to modify the text for the invitation message but don't want to have to modify it every time we use the function. Does anybody know any way that we can modify the message so that it would be the same message every time it is used?

Hi Christine,
I know it's not the answer you want, but signatures have to be added in a serial manner. Every time you sign the PDF file you are signing everything that came before the signature was created, and this includes the previous signatures. There is no method to combine signatures from multiple files into one file. You would end up creating a signature over data that wasn't there when the signature was originally created, and in the security world that's a no-no.

Using launchd to send an email on startup and shutdown

Hello All !
I'd like to get an email whenever my Mac starts up and shuts down, since I have to leave it unattended for quite some long periods of time (and even with the help of a UPS, power goes out anyway...). My Mac runs under Mac OS X Lion.
I found some help on the Internet, mainly from this page : http://www.syntaxtechnology.com/2009/06/email-on-shutdown-and-restart/ , which applies to Linux, and hoped it could work on Mac OS X (I thought at first I could just drop a script in something like /etc/init.d/ or /etc/rc.d/rc5.d but well... we have launchd instead...).
The first method listed in the page above worked well, but sends an email only on startup (for a reminder: you add a line that starts with @reboot in your crontab, and a command that sends directly an email).
I then tried to adapt the second method to Mac OS X, and succeeded partially: I wrote a small script based on what was shown on that page (a start and stop function, start gets called when the script is started, and stop gets called based on a trap on various kill signals, with an infinite wait loop: see below). I also wrote the plist file, loaded it in launchd and rebooted my Mac several times to test everything.
I get an email on each startup (yeah!), but the shutdown mail gets sent only at the next startup. So I guess that postfix gets killed by the shutdown process *before* being able to send my shutdown email :-(
So here are my main questions, if someone can help me:
1. is there a way to precisely call a script during the shutdown process, meaning giving it a priority so it gets called before postfix dies ? (like the rc directories and the naming conventions (KnnScriptName and SnnScriptName) found on some Linux/Unix).
2. is it possible to do that with launchd ? if not, what would be the Mac OS X sanctionned way of doing this ?
Other things:
3. my shell script writing ability is kind of rusty, so maybe I made some "very bad shell writingTM": l'm not sure putting an infinite while loop with a 15 second pause in it is the best way of telling a script to do nothing. There might other things in there that would make an Unix guru jump out of his chair: please tell me :-)
This is my plist:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC “-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN” “http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd”>
<plist version=“1.0”>

<array>
<string>/Library/Scripts/startshutemail-launchd.sh</string>
<string>start</string>
</array>
<key>RunAtLoad</key><true/>
</dict>
</plist>
And this is the script that does the job:
#!/bin/bash
# PHL 20120604 startshutemail-launchd.sh
# Send an email on startup and shutdown (version for launchd)

Thanks for your help, and any comment :-)

Thanks a lot for your answer, Camelot, even if it sorts of confirm what I suspected. Pinging a machine from an external observer is a solution, but it will also report broken links problems and not only a computer shutting down, and it raises the next tier of problems, general network reliability after individual system reliability. It's something I'll have to look at for sure.
It's weird there isn't any way to access the way the shutdown process works.
One of the commenters (#14) on the page from Syntaxtechnology had a similar problem: he added a "sendmail -q" in his script to force sendmail to go to work and service the queue before shutting down, which I can try, but he also added a delay to the stop process of sendmail, which is something I'm not sure I can do on Mac OS X (and that might disappear one day with one of the OS updates).
Unless there is a way to change the launchd.plist file for postfix and add an ExitTimeOut option in it (I found this idea here : https://discussions.apple.com/message/17229690#17229690 )
Cheers,

Workflow sending multiple emails

Workflow sending multiple emails.
I had created the workflow for document library (ABC)
The document library ha 2 fields
1. Employee Name
2. Resume Type
Document Library Settings are as shown in the screenshot.
My workflow settings are as shown in the screenshot:
When I upload a document, workflow is sending 2 emails.
How to resolve to send only 1 email. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the workflow you created sent two emails instead of one emails if you uploaded a document to library.
Could you provide the actions that you used in the workflow or a screenshot about your workflow?
Please add a step at the end of your workflow which will pause the workflow for a few minutes and test whether this issue occurs.

How do I add multiple emails for one contact to the same group list?

When trying to set up a group email list using address book, is there a way to include multiple emails for the same contact to one group. For example I'm trying to set up a baseball team group email. Some kids want emails sent to both mom and dad which have different emails. I currently have them in my address book as the boy's name with the emails listed as mom and dad. I can add one "mom" to the list but when I compose the email, it will use the most recent email used. I would like the group to contain both addresses for mom and dad without setting up to different contacts for the same player.

var cToAddr = this.getField("saManager").value + ";" + this.getField("ManagerEmail").value;
