Email Issues - being returned undelivered + receiving multiple copies

I dont know if these two issues are connected or not.

For some time, over a year I suspect, emails sent to me by certain people have been returned to them as undeliverable. On resending/forwarding it would leave & I would receive the email. I thought it might be a compatibility issue with Macs and didn't give it a lot of thought. I dont have a Mac.

Recently a colleague, who doesn't use a Mac, and I are having a separate issue. I am receiving several copies of the same email, they continue to come at random times, even during the night. Her response is "I kept getting a mailer Daemon message stating the email had been returned thank goodness I hadn't resent it." This isnt just one email, but every one I am copied into. The other colleague (Mac user) doesn't get either the delivery error or the multiple emails.

If this rings a bell with you please let me know so I can take steps to fix it. if it doesnt where do I begin to sort it. My email address is linked with my website so i wondered about my webmaster. Is it something to do with my email platform eMClient or the webmail account?

Any and all advice welcome. ::undecided

    What is the exact error message in these "mailer Daemon message stating the email had been returned"?

    I copied & pasted what I was told but that's probably paraphrased. I'll ask my colleague to forward me the email if it might be helpful.
