  I received a spam post that looks like it was from me. This was the second time it has happened.

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

  Hi Eric,

  It appears that a spammer emailed the secret email address in use for your Post-by-Email function:

  Post by Email

  I’d recommend disabling Post-by-Email so that continued spam emails to that address will not publish on your site. You can then re-enable Post-by-Email to get a new secret address if you like.

  Thanks Alex. I also figured out that it originated in my yahoo account where the Post-by-Email address was. I deleted the email address and will disable the function since I don’t really use it. There are several other alternatives to this feature between the WP app., etc.
