I installed new zcashd, enabled testnet, txindex, let it download chain  
I went to [https://faucet.testnet.z.cash/](https://faucet.testnet.z.cash/) got 3 ZEC confirmed in my wallet  
I generated fresh address using rpc  
I tried to send some coins to that address:  
`zcash-cli sendtoaddress tmXLVS17VJRLHjjH3UjUt1kfFeDJQAPmb3x 0.123 "cdvd"`  
but got  
`error code: -4 error message: Error: The transaction was rejected! This might happen if some of the coins in your wallet were already spent, such as if you used a copy of wallet.dat and coins were spent in the copy but not marked as spent here. `  
I’m surre this is not the case

same procedure works fine with bitcoind

what is it I’m doing wrong here ?

Are you trying to say I should use `sendmany` instead of `sendtoaddress` ? Otherwice I want to add that I don’t spen coinbase, I got coins from faucet in transparent transaction.

I tried sendmany, which worked for me, but it needs from address specified, but most of the time I need to send coins from more addresses, I think lates bitcoind don’t have this limitation

With `sendmany` you specify `""` as the first argument to use available funds see [sendmany - Zcash 4.5.1-1 RPC Docs](https://zcash-rpc.github.io/sendmany.html)

I just tried `sendtoaddress` and it works as it should. Was your node fully synced when sending?
