Have I been hacked? Strange email generation.
 

Our website has begun to duplicate EVERY generated email to my personal email adress. I am an admin on the site. I see every email regarding private messages and any thread subscription replies. I see this as a privacy issue for my members and I'm tired of deleting 100+ emails every day.

Is there a table somewhere that has been modified to send my email address every single message generated by the server? I have a 'rival' website with an owner who is half-sane and could possibly be trying to redirect private message emails to himself. It's a stretch, but it's also a concern I have.

Vbulletin 3.6.4 is the program in question.

Have you tried sending an email not through vBulletin to some address? Does it duplicate then?

I generated an email from our host server web mail and it's not mirroring anything unless it's from Vbulletin.

does anyone have any idea why vbulletin is generating a duplicate email for every email it sends out into my address?

Trying sending a test mail through the Admin CP (Admin CP > Maintenance > Diagnostics).

Check your plugins and products to make sure there are no new unknown plugins/products installed. Take a look at your users profile inside the admincp and make sure all of their email addresses have not been changed to yours. Make sure there are no new cronjobs that should not be there for vbulletin and your actual hosting account. Reupload fresh vbulletin files and remove any unused/outdated plugins/products from your vbulletin installtion.

This email only generated one email in my inbox. This definately limits this to a Vbulletin problem. Why am I carbon copied on every email?

Have you checked with your host, or yourself if your config has something set up that may do this?

I highly doubt this is a vBulletin issue, as so many people are already using it.
