In reply to: Registration SpamThank you for the responses. Appreciated.
It is not a random or non existent email address. It is a valid email address being used to register on 1000’s of different websites which results in the recipient getting 1000’s of emails sent because of these registrations being done by some form of bot.
Below is just three examples of websites. They all have a /my-account registration form that simply anyone can just enter an email address into and they email address will be registered and receive emails from the website.

In reply to: Registration SpamThe emails are legitimately coming from the various websites, so the sender is indeed valid. It is the fact that some form of bot / coding is just maliciously registering email addresses in the my-account forms which then generates the emails to email address used. The recipient has not gone and registered to 100’s of websites in one minute. The flaw appears to me that all these WordPress/WooCommerce pages simply allow entering an email address and that’s it…you registered.

In reply to: Registration SpamThe issue is I cannot make 100’s or even 1000’s of web developers put the proper measures in place to prevent malicious / fake registrations on their WordPress / WooCommerce forms.
