Hello.

I'm experiencing a very odd issue this evening.

I've send a reply to a friend of mine from my personal domain email. The log also states it's send to that friends e-mail address.

Several minutes later, this reply is send as a message from myself to myself???

Code:
2019-02-12 20:00:27 1gtdIB-00007D-4D <= [email protected] H=541e5xxxxxxx.dynamic.ziggo.nl (PCFN01) [84.30.xxx.xxx] P=esmtps

The helo etc. is correct. So it looks as if my Outlook 2013 is doing this some way.

Has anybody experienced this before and know how to trace and fix this?
 
Hello Richard,

I've got a personal email box on a Directadmin server, which I usually use for receiving emails only... And I've configured a system filter of Exim to send a copy of every send email in behalf of me to my own email. So every time an email is sent I've got a copy of them in my Inbox.

/etc/system_filter.exim


Code:
#
# send a copy of an email form [email protected]
#
if $sender_address is [email protected]
then
    unseen deliver [email protected]
endif
 
Hello Alex.

Thank you for your response, but I don't have used such option configured.

I checked again and it's really a new login to the server according to the exim mainlog as you can see in the code. From my home computer, sending the reply as if I had reply'd to myself.
This takes place a couple of minutes after the original reply to the real addressee was send.

So it must be an Outlook 2013 issue or something on my system. Until now it did not happen anymore after I closed Outlook 2013 and opened it again later. Still it's very odd.
