Movable Type Knowledge Base: Multiple Notification Emails

Question

Whenever I send out a new entry notification, I'm getting multiple copies of the email. Does this mean my subscribers are getting multiple copies as well?

Answer

To protect your subscribers' addresses from being exposed to others on the list, Movable Type uses the author's email address (as specified in the author's Profile) in the TO: and FROM: fields, and then places the subscriber addresses in the BCC: field.

This means you, as the author of the entry, will receive at least one copy of each notification email which is sent out. If you also have your own email address on the Notifications List, you will receive another copy of the email as a subscriber.

Also, the system sends out one email for every twenty addresses on your Notifications List. So, if you have twenty or fewer addresses on your list, you as the author will get one email; if you have forty or fewer, you'll get two emails; and so on.
