Getting lots of emails

I updated the plugin and just started to receive the lots of emails again. Nothing changed…

I’m still receiving the emails even after two updates to the plugin, the latest a couple hours ago… I received more than 100 emails tonight!

I keep receiving hundreds of emails every night. I have updated the plugin 3 times since this problem started. Based on the changes log of the plugin it seems you guys are paying more attention to stuff makes you money and are treating this as a low impact problem. This is a big issue! This is impacting my server resources every night. I can get my account blocked for spamming myself!

If you don’t know how to fix this KILL THIS FUNCTION! TURN IT OFF!!!

I went into the code and found the part I think sends the notification emails. I basically commented the code and returned true.

This is in ./better-wp-security/core below line 262.

//Commented to turn off email notifications - JAM
				//The idea is to trick the make the plugin believe it sent the email and remove it from the queue.
				//This code have not been tested.
				//$success = wp_mail( trim( $recipient ), $subject, $message, $headers );
				$success = true;

Guys,

I let the plugin update… The email contents was fixed but I’m still receiving a lot of them! All of them have the same content:
