Gmail sending to phantom targets

gmail

When I send out an email to several different groups, it always sends to a non-existent 'john.smith@case.edu'. There was someone by this name in my contact list at one time, but was long ago deleted. The auto-complete cannot find this name; I have also searched manually and can't find it. What can be causing this? How can I get rid of it?

Also, I incorrectly typed in someone's email as 'john@@something.com'. When I got an error I fixed the email. But Gmail is still sending it with the @@. I've checked and it is corrected. How can I get this fixed?

Contacts email addresses edits are not propagated to groups. You should edit both, the email addresses in the contact record and the related groups.
