Hi,  
  
  
  
In order to test and then execute a campaign I did the following:

- Create simple campaign to send out a single email  
- Add a test segment  
- Scheduled the send action to a specific date and time (it was yesterday 7pm)  
- Wait until the email was sent out to the test segment, review it to make sure everything works fine  
- Change the send action to the date when the email should be sent out (it was today at 7am)  
- Add the production segment  
  
  
  
Result: Every email was sent out **three times** to contacts in the production segment today at 7am.  
  
  
  
What happened?

PS: The email was marked as transactional email. Maybe marketing email would have helped - still wong behavior of the system, I guess.
