NDR going to Everybody

Hi guys please see the below NDR.

It is going to Everybody@domain.org ...It should just go back to the person that sent the message initially. Why is it doing this? and how do I stop it?

Subject: [Postmaster] Email Delivery Failure

This is a delivery failure notification message indicating that an email you addressed to email address :
-- mel@gmail.com

could not be delivered. The problem appears to be :
-- Recipient email address is possibly incorrect

Additional information follows :
-- 550 5.1.1 http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?answer=6596 mx14si9912995wic.74 - gsmtp

This condition occurred after 0 attempt(s) to deliver over a period of 0 hour(s).

If you sent the email to multiple recipients, you will receive one of these messages for each one which failed delivery,  otherwise they have been sent.

The email is going out to a Google account. Do you know that it is doing that?
The address would appear to be wrong, if you set that up with a contact, then get the address corrected. Otherwise you will have to find out who has configured a forward incorrectly.

Hi Simon,

You mis-understand my question.

I know what the NDR means, I am asking why does it send the NDR to "everybody" ?

Thank you
Daniel
I have just tested this myself and cannot repeat this behaviour.

How is the Gmail account in the list of recipients? Is it a contact forward or a rule forward in a mailbox?

Simon.
It is a mail contact
Do you think the forwarding is failing?

Seem that the group was indeed broken, I re-created the group and it works fine now

Thank you
