 * My client is an admin user on the site but not the site admin overall. I also
   don’t have his email set to receive notifications in Wordfence settings. How 
   do I turn off his email notifications from Wordfence? Why is he getting them?

 * Hi [@miku88](https://wordpress.org/support/users/miku88/),
 * If you change the “Where to Email Alerts” within the plugin’s **All Options >
   General Wordfence Options** section, that should stop alerts going to anybody
   but your nominated email address. If applicable, you may still receive alerts
   from sites connected to Wordfence Central because there’s a separate setting 
   for this which I’ll detail below.
 * If you sign into Wordfence Central and click the grey cog in the top-right of
   the Dashboard, it takes you to the **/central/settings** page where you can scroll
   down and change the address in the “**Alert Type Configuration**” section.
 * I hope this helps you out!
   Peter.

 * Thank you, I already have a specific email set in the All Options > General WordFence
   Options section, but my client still receives alerts. I don’t use WordFence Central.

 * Hi [@miku88](https://wordpress.org/support/users/miku88/),
 * Those are the only 2 places (or 1 in your case) where Wordfence alert email addresses
   would be designated. There’s a chance that restarting Postfix or whichever email
   sending software you have on your server might clear out any instructions to 
   send to the other email address. Also try clearing out any caches or WordPress
   caching plugins you may have just in case they’re still seeing old settings.
 * WordPress itself sometimes sends out updates about changed passwords and version
   updates, but should only be doing so to the address nominated in **WordPress 
   > Settings > General**.
 * Let me know if you’ve tried all of the above already,
   Peter.
