Hello Team,
We have our application hosted on AEM Cloud, where I have set up a scheduler to trigger every 2 hours. The scheduler calls a method to send email notifications using the following command:
emailSenderService.sendExpiryNotification(res.getPath(), 30, expiryMillis)
However, we're experiencing an issue where the email is sent three times, whereas we only need it to be sent once. Our setup consists of one Author instance and two Publish instances. In the Author server run mode, I've disabled the email functionality by setting "smtp.ssl": true in the Day CQ Mail Service configuration. On the Publish instances, we've configured "smtp.ssl": false to allow email delivery.
Despite this setup, the emails are still being sent three times.
Has anyone encountered a similar issue or have suggestions on how to resolve this?
Thanks in advance for your help!
I am attaching a file which has logs. Please kindly check once to see the issue.
