Help! Entourage sending multiple blind cc's to unintended recipients

[Guest]

This is really scary. I sent an email to one person in my address book,
(who received it) and got two separate undeliverable emails from a second
and unintended recipient's server.

The bounce backs came from the server of another person in my address book.
Luckily, they had left the organization and their email was no longer
active. Otherwise I would never have even known it had gone to them. The
thought of sensitive emails going to unintended recipients is completely
unacceptable.

I went back to my sent messages and verified it was sent only to one person,
and not cc, or blind cc¹d. I sent a second test email, and got the same
results. I rebuilt my database and sent a third email to the one intended
recipient, and again got bounce backs from the second address.

The server bounce back messages, which contained the entire message
including to/from did not show the unintended receipt as a receptor either.

Using Entourage 2008 for Mac V 12.1.5 with a POP account.

Both the eventual recipients had the same last name, but nothing else in
common whatsoever.

I ran ClamXav and detected no known virus.

I Goggled this occurrence and can¹t find any references to similar cases.

Can anyone please help?

Thanks

This sounds like it¹s coming from your server. If you look at the headers it
shows how Entourage sent the message to. Message --> Source. If you don¹t
see the recipients listed there, then it isn¹t Entourage but your server.

Thanks, but could the server have unrelated contents from my contact list?

I¹ll call Go-Daddy and see what they way.
