If you check you will see that there are 2 received from headers. Let me also show how do i send email and my smtp server config

This is how i send email C#

            MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
            mail.To.Add(srEmail);
            mail.From = new MailAddress("noreply@monstermmorpg.com", srSender);
            mail.Subject = srEmailTitle;
            mail.Body = srEmailBody;
            mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
            mail.SubjectEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
            mail.BodyEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
            SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
            smtp.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
            smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
            smtp.Host = "127.0.0.1";
            smtp.Port = 25;
            smtp.Send(mail);

This is IIS server config

enter image description here

Thanks a lot for the help

You get one Received header for every SMTP server that handles your message. In your case you get one when your application connects via SMTP to localhost and injects the message for the first time, and a second header when that IIS system passes the email to the server for HotMail or GMail.

This is absolutely normal, and expected.
