misforward

Deliver somewhere wrong

To misforward is to send something to the wrong destination, typically mail, email, or other communications.

The error can be accidental or result from outdated information: The package was misforwarded to my old address.

In email contexts, misforwarding often means inadvertently sending a message to unintended recipients.
