    <p>I'm using PHPMailer for a while now and never really had any problems, but last week I installed one of my CMS on a website and the client insisted on having 2 e-mails receiving the contents of the contact form of his website.</p> <p>Ok, no problem I thought, just adding an e-mail address using the $phpmailer->AddAddress() function. However, adding a second receiver is causing PHPMailer to send the mail twice to both receivers. I tried adding a third receiver to see if I got it three times, but this didn't change anything. So adding 2+ receivers is causing PHPMailer to send the message twice to all receivers.</p> <p>There's nothing strange in my code. It's a basic PHPMailer example:</p> <pre><code>$mail = new PHPMailer(); $mail-&gt;AddReplyTo("name@yourdomain.com","First Last"); $mail-&gt;SetFrom('name@yourdomain.com', 'First Last'); $mail-&gt;AddAddress("info@address.com"); $mail-&gt;AddAddress("info@address.nl"); $mail-&gt;Subject = "PHPMailer Test Subject via mail(), basic"; $mail-&gt;Send(); </code></pre> <p>I've ran out of options. I have absolutely no clue where it's going wrong.</p> <p>Thanks in advance</p> <p>--</p> <p>Just some random thought: I noticed the mailer is defaulted by iso-8859-1 and my site is running utf8. Can there be a "silent" redirect by the server itself?</p> <p>//EDIT, that ^^ solved my problem</p> <p>//EDIT2:</p> <p>Ok, it did not.. today the script worked fine (just 1 mail with 2 receivers) but a moment ago the strange behavior started again. Any tips?</p> <p>// Solution:</p> <p>ok, I feel quiet stupid! The answer Zulkhaery Basrul came closest to the actual problem! This is what happened: I was sending an e-mail to multiple addresses in the "to" field. For example:</p> <p>To: A, B, C</p> <p>Both A/B are my own adresses. In outlook I had some message rules to put e-mails with certain addressees inside a specific folder. Both A and B had this rule.</p> <p>When I recieved my e-mail, both mails contained both mailaddresses in the to-field. Causing both of the mails to meet the rule requirements for both rules. Thus keeping the original in one folder and creating a copy in the other (twice).</p> <p>Thanks for thinking tho :)</p>
