dovecot - Jun 2022 - Move sent emails to sent folder?

Now I?ve run into a bit of a problem . . . For some reason I am now getting five
duplicate emails placed in my sent folder! I have the email client I am testing
with set to not place a copy in the sent folder, so none of those are being
synced to my sent folder by my email client.

How do I ensure that the email only gets placed in my sent folder once?

Thanks!

Is it possible that the message is routed outwards and then in again somehow?

Each time a message with the sender address user at domain comes in, the extra
recipient will be added. You could easily get into a loop.
