    Hi Carsten,
    That settings is for sending notification via email.

    For replying via email, there seems to be two plugins available

    – Reply by email from BuddyBoss
    – BP Reply By Email from ray.

    Are you using any one of the above?

    I am not using any of these plugins.

    ‘That settings is for sending notification via email.’

    Yes, and that is the key to the problem, because after sending a BuddyPress message, the users are able to communicate by email via the notification email.

    Regards
    Carsten

    Hi Carsten,
    I am not sure that I understand it completely

    
Yes, and that is the key to the problem, because after sending a BuddyPress message, the users are able to communicate by email via the notification email.

    Are they able to communicate directly to each other via email or are they sending the email to your site and the site is acting as an intermediary between the users?

    Regards

    Hi Brajesh, sorry for the confusion, my fault, I received the mail notification on my administrator email address, not the members email, and was able to communicate with the other member this way.

    I hope I can turn of these email notifications , so I do not receive an email, every time a member writes another member

    Regards
    Carsten

    Hi Carsten,
    I am sorry but BuddyPress does not send email to site admin when two members communicate.

    Please check if your theme or some plugins/code is relaying you all the emails.

    Regards
    Brajesh
