Configure the store to avoid sending multiple marketing e-mails to the same e-mail address
By adding a new attribute to the WebSphere Commerce configuration file, you can prevent the server from sending multiple e-mails to the same address for the same e-mail activity, even when the e-mail address belongs to different users. This ensures that a customer who registers as more than one user but supplies the same e-mail address for each user receives only one e-mail per e-mail activity.
Procedure
- Open the WebSphere Commerce configuration file.
- Locate the section of the file that starts with the <Instance element.
- Within the <Instance element, add the attribute filterDuplicateEmails="true", as shown in the following example:
<Instance BootstrapMulti="wcs.bootstrap_multi_en_US.xml," . . . . . . . . . InstanceName="demo" filterDuplicateEmails="true" InstanceType="local" . . . . . . . . . . . WCSInstallDir="D:\WebSphere\CommerceServer70" WorkspacePath="" />
- Save and close the file.
- Propagate the changes to the WebSphere Commerce configuration file.
