Sending to extra recipients incorrectly.

I am running Windows XP SP2 with Outlook 2003 with SP1. All available Windows
updates etc.
The problem has been established as the following:
When sending a message to say, A & B, the message goes to A as normal,
however message B goes to A & B. Basically, the last recipient in however
many emails are written, receives both emails even though they are not
supposed to get the first one. An example would be:
message 1 - (e-mail address removed)
message 2 - (e-mail address removed)
When sent, message 1 would go to the intended person. Message 2 would go to
the intended person PLUS the microsoft recipient. The email received by the
yahoo person would state in the recipient address (within the email) that it
was intended for microsoft but it still appears.

At first this only appeared to happen when a number of messages were waiting
in the outbox to be sent so I changed the settings to send immediately when
connected which seemed to solve the problem. I have also tried selecting 'log
on to incoming server before sending mail' although I am unsure whether this
has any effect. I have since found out that the problem is still happening
though so now I am running out of idea's.

This is obviously a pressing matter as certain people are receiving emails
that are not intended for them so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Wow! This happened to my client just recently as well. Monday and Tuesday
many e-mails sent also went to someone NOT in the To field. She has ceased
using Outlook until the problem gets fixed.

Here's her system specs:
Windows 2000 Pro SP4, Outlook 2000 (SP3, I think). This thing called Plaxo
installed. She did not report her e-mails being delayed from leaving the
outbox. (However, there have been occasions where a badly formed e-mail
address stopped a couple of messages from leaving, but I think this is not
the cause.) Her system is NOT set to automatically receive updates and
Norton Antivirus 2003 is installed.

There was one other instance of this happening - about 5 weeks ago. Then,
as now, I found one contact that had a backslash at the end.

More people get e-mails than are in To list
