Hello,
I had something very strange happen with Outlook 2000.
The workstation with the problem runs Windows 2000 Pro-
Office 2000 Professional.
On 7/3/03 I sent an email to another user at our company-
on the same network. There were no other recipients on
the original email I sent to this user. The user replied
only me only. I received her reply no problem. What
happened next is the strange part. A copy of her reply to
me was sent the entry in her address book, which happened
to be a group list containing about 20 addresses. I
checked her sent folder and the only person shown as
having received this email is myself! I thought it might
be a virus and did a scan and nothing was detected. All
DAT and program files are current. This email did go to
the 20 other email address (outside of our company)
contained in this group (again, the first entry in her
address book). I checked our email server logs and
apparently this email along with two others sent to only
me were also sent to this group contact list (again, it's
the first entry in the address book). Also, in the sent
folder the emails only show as being sent to me. No
possibility of a BCC. The only common denominator is that
during the time these emails were sent she DID compose a
message to this same group contact list within a minute or
two of when these other emails were sent to me. The email
to this group was stuck in her outbox folder. She opened
the email and then hit "send" and the email went. I'm not
sure how this group contact list received three emails
intended for me, especially when the system has not been
infected in any way. If anyone has a clue as to how this
might have happened, I would surely appreciate any input.
This workstation has Norton Anti Virus software running--
latest version. Also, the user had her email tracking
options set up to "Request a read receipt for all messages
sent" and to "Always send a response" for those requesting
read receipts.
Best,
Marie
