PHPmailer is sending copy to my email

When I'm sending a test message via PHPmailer (SMTP) my email appends to the recepients list. Here is what recipient sees in inbox email

To: [email protected], Name <[email protected]>

The second email is mine. How can I stop this?

Here is my code

function send_email($to, $fromName, $subject, $message, $contentType='text', $smtp_opts) {
    $mail = new PHPmailer();
    $mail->SetFrom($smtp_opts['fromEmail'], $fromName);
    $mail->Subject = $subject;
    $mail->Mailer = 'smtp';
    $mail->AddAddress($to);
    $mail->CharSet = "UTF-8";
    $mail->IsHTML($contentType=='html');

    $mail->Host = $smtp_opts['host'];
    $mail->SMTPAuth = (bool)$smtp_opts['auth'];
    if ($mail->SMTPAuth) {
        $mail->Username = $smtp_opts['username'];
        $mail->Password = $smtp_opts['password'];
    }

    $mail->Body = $message;
    $mail->AddAddress($smtp_opts['fromEmail'], $fromName);

    $result = $mail->Send();

    $mail->ClearAddresses();
    $mail->ClearAttachments();
    return $result;
}

$smtp_opts = array( ... ); // host, port, fromEmail, auth, username, password
send_email('[email protected]', 'Name', 'Subj', 'Msg', 'html', $smtp_opts);

I think the problem is in this line $mail->AddAddress($smtp_opts['fromEmail'], $fromName);

$mail->AddAddress($smtp_opts['fromEmail'], $fromName);

If I am not mistaken, this command adds another recipient to the list of recipients. Try to remove it and send another test E-Mail. You shouldn't be getting the copy-mail then.
