  I have a blog on with wordpress [notehelfer.wordpress.com] and suddenly I am getting ‘tons’ of ‘spam’ emails from a site ‘vintagephotography.wordpress.com’ . . . I’m wondering if anyone else is complaining about that site? I received 15 posts in the last half hour and probably 40 in the last two days . . . Any help?

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

  In what way are the emails “from” a WordPress.com site? Are they including that URL in the body of the email in some way?

  no, they are emails from vintagephotography.wordpress.com. When I open them they take me to spam and malware sites . . .

  Could you please forward one of those emails to me via email with the full headers attached? Please include my name in the subject line and a link to this thread in the body of the email along with the spam email.

  Thanks!

  believe me I’m not going to open one more of those emails . . . And I can’t forward it to you without opening it . . . You should just check out who’s sending out this junk from ‘vintagephotography.wordpress.com’ . . . I’d be surprised if I’m the only one getting this stuff . . . If so, it’s my problem . . .

  I’d really like to help you out, but I need to see the emails for myself, with the complete header information, to see if there’s anything we can act upon on our end.
