My own email addresses blocked

Apple Mail has suddenly begun to block my own email addresses- so that I can't send or copy emails to myself from another of my accounts.

I have to go into 'Settings' and unblock the addresses before I send to make sure I receive the sent message. (Of course, I usually forget and the sent message to myself disappears without a trace- after seemingly have been sent).

Every time I open Apple Mail, my addresses are back on the 'blocked' list.

Is there a permanent fix to this problem?

MacBook Air 15″, macOS 13.6

old issue, new issue, what changed...?

This is not a common error I have seen here, I really don't get it.

What exact mac is this?

What exact macOS is this.

Mail.app — and who is the email provider(?) is this @icloud.com ?

Is this just one address or multiple email address?

Going into settings where...(?) The only think I see is Junk. I have never had this optioned checked for any reason, and all I see there is phone numbers(?)— I would uncheck that just in general and compare your results.

If Junk mail is not working for you as expected you can turn it off in Mail>Settings.

It is a old trick that spammers used on Gmail. They would send a email to you using your email address and in the recipients, if you didn't look at it closely you would block what you thought was a spam email address but in actual fact you put yourself in the block filter list.

Did you get a solution from somebody?

For the last three days all of my email address have been added to my blocked emails list. Like contacts is adding my entire card to the blocked list.
