I can't tell anything specific with so little information, but this will be a problem in your app or your mail server config. PHPMailer only sends one message at a time, so for it to send more, you must be asking it to do that in your app. Alternatively, you could have a mail loop - where an auto-responder replies to itself - and in that case it's nothing to do with PHPMailer or your app. I would recommend stopping your mail server and inspecting its logs and the headers of messages you're receiving.

i have checked my code and the block where i send this email works perfectly with other emails which means that i have no problem with my code (and in this block i don't use any loop or recursive function), my app was using phpmailer 5.2.9, i have read that this version has some security updates but i don't know if my problem happens before with some version equal or different of this one i'm using.

Please tell me what kind of information you need and i will try te sent it to you.

many thanks for reply.

You should upgrade immediately. That version has security holes and bugs. You have still not said exactly how it's sending multiple messages.
