got a mail that someone got access to my blog – but I did not invite them
-
I’ve invited a bunch of friends to my privat blog and got an email that someone – who I haven’t invited, who is not on my waitlist and who is not a member, became a member. Why, and how?

I don’t know why or how this happened and have flagged this thread for Staff attention.

You have two separate email address settings at WordPress.com.
Blog notifications for the admin (like comment moderation, Likes, new subscriptions, etc) are sent to the email address at Settings -> General in the Dashboard.
Personal notifications (like comments on your post, subscription emails, and upgrade renewals) are sent to the email address at Users -> Personal Settings in the Dashboard.

Were they just requesting access, or were they actually made a member? If so, what was the username?
