Thousands of notification emails…

Hi all,

I have the plugin working on a multisite and it’s been fine for around 1.5 years, I have the usual 50-60 emails every now and again which to me makes me feel comfortable in the fact it’s working…

Today though it has begun firing emails at around 35 per minute (I check for email every minute) and nothing I do seems to stop it. I have changed the settings, de-activated the plugin, deleted the plugin and nothing seems to stop the bombardment of emails! I have even gone into the tables through phpMyAdmin and removed my email address and even this doesn’t stop it…

Has anyone any ideas?

Thanks
