Summary
Multiple copies of correction Alerts are delivered
Technical Background
The Customer had 5 correction Email Alerts listed in a Relator, and were seeing 5 emails delivered to each of the 5 addresses. This resulted in 25 emails being delivered in total.
To reproduce:
Install 8.0A-0701 with default options (this sets the SEND_CORRECT_NOTIFY_TO_ESCALATED_ONLY registry key to its default of 1)
Create a Relator with two Email Alerts, and two email correction Alerts, as below:
Put the Relator in production, break the underlying rule, and observe the two Alerts being fired.
Correct the underlying rule so that the rule re-check causes the correction Alerts to be fired.
Here is a SMTP transcript of the correction emails:
