I have 2 iPhones, 2 iPads, 3 macbook pros and one iMac. I use Apple mail and all of our accounts are Gmail. About 2 weeks ago, I started receiving sex & scam emails on only one MacBook Pro. Why? What can fix this?
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.14

These are helpful suggestions, but my concern is that I am getting these email messages on only one of eight different Apple devices. All of them read the same email account but only one gets the scam and sex messages. I assume that there is some malware in that one computer that sends the mail through to it, but not the other computers. Bit Defender and Clean My Mac can not find any malware. I get 50 or 60 per day. None have the sender' real email address.
This will not answer your original question, but you should really and seriously consider uninstalling those two irrelevant apps which do nothing except use resources and possibly mess with your OS: CleanMyMac and BitDefender.
As for your question: Do you have a Safari extension on the one Mac that may be the culprit? Or something else you may have picked up?
