Email Alerts Emailing Constantly

Ok, so I have followed much of the advice from various sources. When creating a filter rule (running in background, no submitting or executing), zoneminder will constantly send email alerts. Anyway to work around this? I have tried this on 1.22.x and 1.23.x systems.
I have a very urgent need for this.
Thanks!

What do you means work around it i don't see what your trying to do stop email or get the emails to send.

Well, it should be sending alerts for new events only, however it will start sending alerts for every alert in the database prior to defining and enabling the filter.
I will get 100+ messages per min. I want 1 email per current event...not for events that happened a year ago....

yeah i had this problem i think i had to set a flag on all events in db.
Edit:
Run this on mysql db:
Code: Select all
UPDATE `zm`.`Events` SET `Emailed` = '1' WHERE `Emailed` = 0
