Is there any way to reproduce this? Are the multiple emails logged in the contact event log? Are you using SMTP to send your emails or an email prodiver? ---

I was seeing this when email based cron tasks were colliding. I did hear that this issue was fixed??? In any case what I did was to change the way I use those cron jobs by firstly not firing them so quickly that they collide and most importantly by wrapping them up in shell scripts that can detect that one is still running. Maybe connected maybe not. Check out your cron entries first. 🙂 ---

OK some odd behaviour one of the guys here as spotted which may or may not be connected is that if you edit an email in the campaign builder and use the mouse wheel to scroll up and down while changing, the scroll action is also being performed in the background window (the selection box for the email action), and then when you save and close you may end up with say the bottom email being selected and not noticed. If this effect is happing for you could you have accidentally assigned the wrong email to all campaigns? I don’t think it would be what you’ve done but worth a check. 🙂 ---

I experienced an error in Mautic where multiple emails were sent out. Please take a look here: [https://www.mautic.org/community/index.php/7788-schedule-and-re-schedule-e-mail-in-campaign-send-action/p1](https://www.mautic.org/community/index.php/7788-schedule-and-re-schedule-e-mail-in-campaign-send-action/p1) Did you do something similar (setting a data/time and after that remove it)? And, what do you mean with “just simple broadcast to my list” - it is still a campaign with a single action, isn’t it?
