 * 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

 * 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.

 * 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.
