For example there is a farm and it has three farm stands with contacts.
All three use the same email.
If you send an email to a group that has all three records then three emails are sent.
Is there a way to prevent this, ie tell civi group by email?

i think civimail has got logic to eliminate the same email id if it appears in multiple groups. i dont think it has logic to eliminate the same email if present multiple times in different records

might be worth getting rid of it since sending multiple copies of a similar email might not be the best thing for any org. However note that due to token replacement, the email can be a bit different and addressed to different people etc.

If you file an issue, we'll consider implementing it in a future 2.x release

alfred:

thanx for posting the issue

in future can you please spend a few more mins and make the issue much more specific to the bug rather than a simple cut-n-paste from the forum topic

I've edited the issue to give you a better idea of what i mean

thanx
