misaddressed
Sent somewhere wrong
Misaddressed means directed to the wrong address or recipient.
A misaddressed letter goes astray in the mail; a misaddressed email lands in the wrong inbox: The package was misaddressed and ended up three states away.
Figuratively, misaddressed remarks or efforts are aimed at the wrong target: His complaints were misaddressed—the manager had no control over pricing.
