    $body             = eregi_replace("[\]",'',$body);
    $mail->SetFrom($_POST['email'], $_POST['name']);    
    $mail->AddAddress($emailAddr, $name);    
    $mail->Subject    = "subject1";
    $mail->MsgHTML($body);

    if(!$mail->Send()) {
    echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
    }

swiftmailer? eregi_replace() is deprecated. You dont check your post-variables. — Bernhard, Jan 20 '17 at 07:47

Note: Since you didn't mention it in your question, I am assuming that you are using PHPMailer class. It would be a good idea to update the question with this information.

The AddAddress() function, as the name implies, adds new addresses to the recipients list while at the same time keeping the previously added addresses.

Solution:

You'll have to use clearAllRecipients() function before you added the recipient address for the second email at the line $mail->AddAddress($emailAddr, $name);. Your final code in that part should look like this:

$mail->clearAllRecipients(); $mail->AddAddress($emailAddr, $name);

Ref: http://phpmailer.github.io/PHPMailer/classes/PHPMailer.PHPMailer.PHPMailer.html#method_clearAllRecipients

There are many other similar useful functions mentioned there. Please check. Also, have a look into this question and the answer. It will help you understand the problem more.

Hope my answer helps.
