Did you check whether you are getting this from ping backs & track backs ?
If so , then you need to disable ping backs & trackbacks from WordPress.
Check more about this https://en.support.wordpress.com/comments/pingbacks/
Hi Sundar
AFAIK there is no option on this theme for pinbgbacks, ive seen the checkbox on other themes but cant see nay option for it on this theme – Avada
thanks
Do you have any contact forms ?
Probably spam bots might send emails to the default wordpress@mysite from your contact form on the site .
If you have a contact form , use a captcha to block spam bots sending emails.
that must be it, i only thought it was comments but never thought of the form
thanks for the help
ill do it now
Use Google Re-captcha for better spam blocking 🙂

Hi all
Im relatively used to using WP but im confused about this website i built, i keep getting emails from : wordpress@mysite and it shows a comment – typical spam crap with links etc but there are no comments in the dashboard anywhere. Ive disabled all commenting on articles older than 1 day (there are no new articles), so what are these emials about if there are no comments there??
thanks
