User sends email to several recipient, not a distribution group. Recipient replies and original sender is replaced in To: field with distribution list that seemingly has no relationship to email thread and recipients.

    Hi @SY_MSO

    Please check the message header of the emails for the Reply-To part.
    How to view message header in Outlook: View internet message headers in Outlook

    If the Reply-To part shows the distribution group, the possible cause of this issue may be the senders configured Reply-To settings to have the recipients reply to a different email address.
    (By default it should be the same as the sender's email address)

    For example, if using Outlook it can be done in this way:
