[wp-hackers] wp_schedule_event being triggered multiple times

[Callum Macdonald]

Hi Andrew,

The code that deletes the email is in wp-mail.php line 152. If it fails, 
it outputs an error. If you call the wp-mail.php file directly, do you 
see the error message? Perhaps that might shed some light on it...

However, this line only flags the message for deletion, it doesn't 
actually delete it until line 162 when the $pop3->quit() function is 
called. If you're not getting any error messages calling wp-mail.php 
directly you could try adding a print("sporg"); after line 162 to verify 
that it has been executed and doesn't produce a silent error.

Good luck,


Callum.
