Forgive me if this has been asked before but does anybody know how to stop what i call a circular email.

I'll explain what i mean: I sent an email to a buyer on ebay and i cc'ed it to myself and i asked e bay to send me a copy. now the same message keeps coming back to me about 20 times a day. I reckon it is going round in circles emailing itself to me.

Can anyone help?

Actually better known as a looping mail. Seems to me that either ebay are resending when they shouldn't be, or more likely that your mail server is accepting it but not telling the ebay server, so it resends.

Worse case scenario is that it will go on for 2 or 3 days but then should stop. You could contact either your ISP or Ebay but I wouldn't hold out much hope of them doing much about it in time before it clears itself up.
