Multiple messages received for one email sent?

Which side should I be looking at?
The host that hosts my email account or my script that sends out 6 emails even though one email address is listed?

Cheers

You should be looking at both sides and trying to determine which is the problem.

Try writing a basic script to send a single email to yourself with no other PHP code there to possibly cause side effects. If the same thing happens - it's probably your host's SMTP service screwing up.

It could also be your own email service, have you tried sending an email to a different provider?

Cool did that;
I managed to fix the problem...
When I queried the db it had 6 records almost every time, but just to add... some hosts do send more than one mail due to you having more than one email address with them (odd)
