  Yesterday I got 56 identical emails from WordPress (?) on the backup file for my site. Today it was 235. How do I stop these emails?

  Hi @jackr2013, you don’t have any sites on our servers. Is this about an individual WordPress.org installation?

  I have a WP based site hosted on GoDaddy. I get site lockout notifications from WP daily, sometimes multiple times per day. The bogus duplicate emails are copies of WP emails I’ve gotten for 2-3 years about the attached backup file for the site database.

  @jackr2013 okay, can you post more details in the correct forums? These forums are for the sites hosted by WordPress.com, but you can find help for your own installation at https://wordpress.org/support
