Jannes (February 19, 2021 at 6:00 PM) I have confirmed this. The cause seems to be that Jetpack hooks into the publication of the temporary “rewrite & republish” post, which is never actually published. It’s unclear where jetpack hooks in here, but that is the reason it gets the wrong URL.
Not sure if this is up to us to fix.

@Jannes I clicked on the link from the Jetpack email (which was my Gmail) and then opened the Ayima extension, so I’m guessing that’s where that redirect is coming from.
If I copy the URL http://mike.checkthelatest.com/?p=212 and just enter it into a new browser, it will still load as a 404.
Jannes (February 11, 2021 at 1:49 PM) @michaelbriantina why is there a Google redirect in one of your screenshots?

michaelbriantina (February 10, 2021 at 1:35 PM) When initially publishing the post normally (with only Jetpack enabled), Jetpack sends out an email with these links:
http://mike.checkthelatest.com/?p=208
http://mike.checkthelatest.com/r-r-test-3/
When clicked on, these load the page correctly.
Then I enabled the Yoast Duplicate Post plugin and used the Rewrite & Republish function on that same post, and made a few changes to the content, then scheduled it for a few minutes later. Once it republished, Jetpack sends out an email with these links: http://mike.checkthelatest.com/?p=212 http://mike.checkthelatest.com/?p=212 When clicked on, these load a 404.
Jannes (February 9, 2021 at 5:54 PM) I am not yet convinced this is our issue instead of Jetpacks… What is the exact URL that the link in the mail is referring to?

Please give us a description of what happened
When you use the Rewrite & Republish feature in Yoast Duplicate Post v4.1.1 and schedule a post, once the post has been republished, those subscribed through email (via Jetpack) receive an email of the new post. The URL in the email leads to a 404.
I tried testing this on one of my websites initially (disabling all plugins except for Jetpack and reverting to a default WordPress theme) and created a new post and published it normally. On one of my subscribed email addresses, I then received an email linking to the new post. It was showing the /?p=208 URL but when clicked on, it loaded the post just fine.
I then used the Rewrite & Republish feature on the same post and scheduled it for a few minutes later. Once it republished, I then received another email from Jetpack linking to the modified post.
However, when you click on the URL, it loads a 404 instead of the correct post.
