Good day

A long time ago I registered my wife and I's email addresses on mail2.im. It's a instant messaging service that, when signed up for, will send you an IM to your gtalk account whenever you receive an email.

I later stopped the service on both our emails but for some reason whenever anyone sends an email to my wife's gmail address they get an email back from mail2.im saying that the recipient was not found - even though the email still goes through.

Below is the full source of the email that gets sent to the sender:

Hmmm sorry I didn't find a recipient xxxxxx to send to

I replaced the senders address with yyyyyy and the username that we created for my wife on the mail2.im service with xxxxxx.



It's extremely irritating. Every time someone sends an email to my wife's gmail they get this message back to them and then they keep asking my wife if she gave them the correct email address.

Please can some of you boffins help me out?

I already send an email to the admin at mail2.im but he insists that there's nothing wrong.
 
Check your settings in gmail. Maybe it autoforwards or something.

Settings > Forwarding and POP/IMAP
Also maybe Settings > Filters
 
She doesn't have any filters on her gmail. The email is not being sent from her email address. It's being sent from [email protected] automatically whenever someone sends her an email. I have no clue how the heck this mail2.im knows that she was sent an email :confused:

And this happens to whoever sends her an email. Not just me.
 
@rorz0r omg I'm sorry, I only checked the filters and not the forwarding feature, the mail was set to automatically forward to [email protected].

I switched it off and will check how it goes, but I'm sure that's the answer.

Thanks man!!!!!
