@flo_sb Hello, the plugin does not create accounts in wordpress. The plugin deliver messages to the users that subscribe to your messages, in that case, you might have spam issues in your comment form and should use a anti spam plugin.
The plugin has a feature to avoid spamming subscribers, it is call double checking. You should activate that feature on the options.

@reedyseth, thanks for your fast reply.
I am trying to find out what is happening. Could you please tell me if your plugin creates a wordpress user account when users (or bots) subscribe to comments?

@flo_sb,
Sure, The plugin does not create a WordPress account, it records the users email address on the wp_options table of your database and also in another table called wp_subscribe_reloaded_subscribers.
If you find what email address are sending the spam you can search them in the subscribers list of the plugin options and deleted them.

I’ve recently had a similar issue. I’m going to post on Github, but thought I’d add my info here.
There was a very popular post that had 70+ comment, and 35+ comment subscriptions. This should result in only ~35 emails being sent when a new comment is posted. However, the plugin was sending 30-40 emails to each subscriber!
Here’s what our server admins said:
There were 589 emails yesterday, and already 353 today, and it was disabled most of the time. It appears each user is getting about 30-40 email notifications. So it’s likely just something screwy with how the subscriptions are set up. Changing it to either only on reply to my comments could lessen the blow, but it appears there may just be a loop of notifications being sent out.”
