  I just got an email saying that my blog Dispatch From Second Base has started following my blog Dispatch From Second Base. What’s up with that? Should I be worried about a hack? Thanks.

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

  Hi there,

  We’ve had a couple other reports about emails like this. Please don’t worry about hacking — it’s more likely a glitch with emails on our end. (Sorry!) Can you forward the email to us so we can take a look at it?

  Hi there,

  After doing some digging, we found that a new email follower on your blog caused that email notification to go out — because of how the email address was formatted, it caused some funky issues with the notification. There’s nothing for you to worry about with that, but let me know if you have any questions about it!
