Subscribers to my blog who appear to be spammers?

    Over the past couple of days, I’ve had nearly a dozen people subscribe to my blog who all give email addresses from a domain that appears to be in Poland – pjbals.co.pl
    I have heard about groups that spam discussion boards – is this what’s happening, and is it anything I need to worry about? They’re not leaving anything on my message boards, but it just seems weird that I’m getting subscribed to from this domain for no apparent reason. Thought on how best to deal with this would be appreciated.
    THANKS

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

    I, too, have had this problem, so am happy to hear it’s not just me. I went in and deleted them, as per the instructions on WordPress’ websites, but wondered if there was a way to filter them out, and block them somehow.
