  I am receiving spam messsages from my wordpress.org blog http://www.ea3hoe.net. The articles don’t get posted on the blog i just receive the e-mail notification as if i was posting a new article. SMTP is enabled on the server but not on the blog. This is a blog hosted by an ISP, so no personal server.
  What can be the reason why this suddenly occurs?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Have you tried using Akismet?

  Otherwise you would need to head to the WordPress.org forums for assistance. We can only offer support for WordPress sites hosted here at WordPress.com.

  In that case, contacting your host, or the .org forums will be your best bet:
