Learn how to identify and resolve duplicate signatures appearing in Kolleno automated emails due to external email client configurations.

When sending automated emails from Kolleno, you may notice duplicate signatures appearing in the emails received by your customers.

This issue typically occurs when your email provider (such as Microsoft Exchange, or Gmail) automatically appends its own signature to outgoing emails, in addition to the signature configured within Kolleno.


Common Symptoms

  • Automated emails from Kolleno show two identical or similar signatures

  • The duplicate appears consistently across all communications

  • The problem persists even after updating the signature in Kolleno

  • Kolleno Timeline shows 1 signature for outbound however in your inbox there is a duplicate signature


Troubleshooting Steps

Step 1: Verify the Issue in Kolleno

  1. Send a test email from Kolleno to yourself

  2. Inspect the received email to confirm whether duplicate signatures appear

  3. If the Kolleno Timeline shows one email signature however in your email received in your inbox appears as 2.

Step 2: Check Your Email Client Signature Settings

The most common cause is Microsoft Exchange adding signatures automatically.

  1. Contact your IT administrator or access your Exchange Admin Center

  2. Navigate to Mail Flow > Rules or Transport Rules

  3. Look for any rules that append signatures to outgoing emails

  4. Disable or modify the rule to exclude emails sent through Kolleno

Step 3: Test After Changes

  1. Return to Kolleno and send another test email

  2. Verify that only one signature now appears

  3. If duplicates persist, check for additional email rules or signature plugins
