Solved every forum activity results in email notification to generic forum mail adres

Hi Guys,

for a while now, i keep getting all forum activity (like new topic or new reply) sent to the general email adres of the forum ([email protected]).
there is no user with this email adres 

this was not the case previously.....
how an i turn this off? This results in a LOT of emails that i don't need in my inbox

thanks.

Please create a configuration report:  Configuration Report

sorry... forgot....

1. your mail settings are correct.
2. you yourself also do not use this address in your webpage (like Joomla, Forum or an Extension)?
3. is the sender and recipient name the same in this mails?

1: ok
2. i dont know really.... i have not changed any settings but this suddenly started to happen. I'll look into this.
3. yes.

i have searched but i can't find any location where i could have set something up to get these emails

Have you recently changed the "Email to multiple recipients" setting? If you have entered this address in the "Visible email recipient" field, this address will also receive these emails.
Enter another address in this field that you use only for this purpose.

Where is this setting you mentione?
i found that on different places

It's in  the Kunena configuration (tab Users).

awsome, found it and will change it to something created only for those mails
