Twice daily mysterious test emails from Sendmail.exe / WAMP server

A few months ago I set up WAMP server on my Windows 7 machine to develop a Wordpress site locally. I added Sendmail.exe to make Contact Form 7 (a contact form which sends out an email from me, to me) work properly. All was well. But, on a once or twice daily basis, I receive, to the Gmail account I set up with sendmail, a "testing sendmail.exe" email. Even when my computer (running WAMP) is off. How can this be?

Once the development of the website was complete and ready to go live, I uploaded it using the Wordpress Duplicator (https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/) plugin. I have searched (using ftp) through the live site, and cannot find any kind of sendmail files there.

For client approval, I uploaded the site (again using the Worpdress Duplicator plugin) to a subdirectory on my own site, but since then I have deleted all the files from that directory.

So my question is: How on earth are theses emails getting sent? Does the sendmail application actually use some other server somewhere out there (not my WAMP "server") to send the emails, and it's got stuck in the habit of sending out this test email?

Thanks in advance for any help on this!

Here's the full header (I've changed my email to "[email protected]"):
