I faced the following functionality:  
  
I designed a campaign with absolute email sending times.  
  
The problem is the newcomers will receive all passed emails until the joining time within one minute. That means in our test subscriber I got 7 emails at once.  
  
I dont think it is the right behavior. Is there maybe a filter or condition which ignores the old emails for newcomers?

@bossanyit : First question is if you need campaign emails or broadcast emails. Only you can know that.

If you need campaign emails, have a look here [https://mautic.com/help/send-new-contacts-segment-campaign/](https://mautic.com/help/send-new-contacts-segment-campaign/) for a possible solution.

@bossanyit Looks what you want to accomplish would be better done with relative than absolute…
