This plugin is spamming my members with "We Miss You" emails.  My neighbor got well over 100 of these in one day!  I saw it with my own eyes in her email inbox.  There have been numerous complaints from others.  NOT happy.

Please disable the plugin for now. I am coming up with a new core design for the mailers.

Please share the site url and cpanel details via email to purushoth.r@gmail.com


I will fix the issue in the database.

Not to be rude, but I would rather nobody be poking around in my sql files and changing them.  Is there a reason you can't just tell us how to fix the issue in the database ourselves?  That would help.
Purusothaman Ramanujam
I understand your concern. But it would be best to see what makes the rows in DB not cleared. I believe that cron is misbehaving to generate lot of emails in the previous version.


If I can get cpanel, site url and admin access, I can debug and provide a permanent fix.

Purusothaman Ramanujam
Finally found the issue. It was a simple error which has made more damage.


I missed out to comment a line before uploading to store.


Sorry for all the trouble. I will upload the new version shortly in store.

David
David Dec 8 '16
Okay, but will that kill all the pending outgoing mail instances that were created by the old version??
Purusothaman Ramanujam
Yes. It will remove all those emails and it start fresh.


The final fix is now in store. Yesterday's fix was temporary fix for the email issue.

Im having the same issues, the plugin is spamming 80-100 times a day to everyone. I uninstalled it and reinstalled, update to the newest version and it is still doing this. Purusothaman, I did email you to your email address you posted on here a few days ago but have not heard back from you yet, any help you can give would be great.

Yeah, the new version isn't helping at all.  It's still spamming on my end as well.
