If the workflow runs on change it will evaluate the step every time - NOT only the first time it was set. This means that every time somebody change the item and Trigger = Send mail
it will evaluate true and do what you have inside the if statement.
If you only want to send the mail once, you need to make an extra field to keep track of if you have send the mail or not. Then you add an if statement If Has send mail = false send mail and set field has send mail = true
.
If you want it to send a mail every time the trigger is set (Assuming in the items lifecycle it can go back and forth between sending items or not) you would need a field to keep track of the "old" field value then match against it and only trigger if the old value is different from then new value.
Hope this helps clearing up workflow logic a bit.
