first time I’ve used blat and it appears to work fine however its sending two emails for every email I intend to send. Script excerpt is below:

::If we have a problem we email from here
CALL :checkForFailures

:checkForFailures
IF EXIST %ERROR_FILE% CALL :email & EXIT /B 1
::pause
GOTO :eof

:email
IF %TOLOG%==Y (
BLAT -f noreply@mydomain.com -to sapatos@mydomain.com -server myserver -subject "subject text" -body "Body text" -attacht 
::%PROBLEM_LIST% >> %LOGFILE%
) 

GOTO :eof

I’ve tried running this with and without output to the logfile. runs fine from the cmd prompt but just issues within this script.

Thanks for the help

    Maybe you should stop your batch file after your call to :checkForFailures:

    ::If we have a problem we email from here 
CALL :checkForFailures 
goto :eof

:checkForFailures
...

    Otherwise you call it once, and execution continues directly after the call. In which case it runs the :checkForFailures subroutine again and sends out a second mail.
