Environment


Novell GroupWise 7
Novell GroupWise 32 bit Client

Situation

When you generate a rule that should send an email when the Groupwise client is started generates more then 1 email.
The customer is using SP1IR1 and only disabling the rule stops sending messages.
With the SP2 (build 555) I get 16 messages.

Resolution

This has been resolved in GroupWise 8 or later.

5) Close the GroupWise client and start it again. Log in as USER1
6) Wait for 1 minute and close the GroupWise client.
