Google Script email also being sent to account owner?

I have a problem with a Google MCC Script I have. It's set up to run every day in the early hours of the morning, do some processing, and email out a result, using Google Scripts' built in MailApp.sendEmail function.

The problem is that, while the email is sent successfully, I'm also recieving messages in the inbox of the email address which owns the MCC account along the lines of

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

 [email protected]

Technical details of permanent failure: The email account that you tried to reach does not exist. Please try double-checking the recipient's email address for typos or unnecessary spaces.

with the 'Original Message' appended below that indicating it is indeed the message the Script has sent. Here's my code:

function main() {
  var accountSelector = MccApp.accounts();
  var accountIterator = accountSelector.withIds('###-###-###').get();
  if(accountIterator.hasNext()){
    var account = accountIterator.next();
    MccApp.select(account);

    var data = getData();
    sendEmail(data);

  } else Logger.log("Error: no accounts found");
}

function sendEmail(data){
  var name = 'name';
  var bodytext = 'body';
  MailApp.sendEmail({
    to: '[email protected]',
    name: 'Google Adwords Scripts',
    replyTo: '[email protected]',
    subject: 'SUBJECT',
    attachments: [{fileName: name, mimeType: 'text/csv', content: data}],
    body: bodytext
  });
}

So, to clarify, the MCC account is owned by one email address, the script doesn't reference that at all, but I'm recieving the email not only in the target mailbox but also a failed delivery message in the owner inbox.

Can anyone shed any light on what is happening here?

Okay, apparently this is a known issue with AdWords Scripts:

It is very likely that you are running another copy of the script that is sending these emails. Go to your Google Account settings here and revoke access to the other script.

If you have multiple Google accounts, do a scan for all the accounts.
