  Hi! A friend of mine keeps getting notifications that I am reblogging a wordpress.com blog. (I now self-host, but retain my WP.com account.) The blog in question is http://danariely.com/ , which is a blog I don’t follow. She gets a notification from ‘eileenanddogs’ whenever a new post appears on http://danariely.com/ . I did not set this up and am not reblogging that blog.

  Here’s a link to a screen shot.

  

  Thanks for any tips/

  Eileen

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

  Hi there,

  Can you please let me know your friend’s WordPress.com username or email address so I can further troubleshoot this?

  Please note that their email address will only be visible to me and other staff members.

  Can you also let me know the email address where that message is coming from? It might be somehow forwarded.

  I have a screen shot of one of the posts if you have a way for me to get it to you.

  Ah, that’s the problem. We don’t actually attach a name to the donotreply email address.

  I suspect at some point your friend added it their contacts in GMail, or due to frequent past emails, GMail just assumes that’s the contact’s name.
