Thanks for your reply. To clearify what the problem is:

We have registration form for new members and our member database in aMember. This registration is working perfectly, and we have no problems at all with the member registration and database in aMember.

In mid June we started to get emails. The new type of emails have folowong informaion
FROM: WordPress <wordpress@iexcelbooks.no> via goodwood.domeneshop.no (domeneshop is our web host)
TO: xxxxxxxx@iexcel.no
FROM: goodwood.domeneshop.no (our web host)
SUBJECT [Regnskap] New User Registration ( “Regnskap” is the name we use on our site )
TEXT: New user registration on your site Regnskap: Username: Sharyl4128 E-mail: chianeselim@ hotmail.com (WHICH IS A SPAM BOT)

We are not aware direct negative influences from the spambots, but find it very annoying that they are able to register into a database in our portal.

The questions are:
Into what database do the spambots register? Is it a native WP database or could it be a plugin?
Where and how can we locate this “hidden” database from WP-admin?
Is there a risk that the spambots can do any harm? (like slowing down our site or put malware into it)?
How can we prevent spambots from registering in this database and with a registration type we do not know about?
Can we disable the entire database and just use the database for members we have in aMember?

(there is no content to the email, only registration)

Appreciate insight on this…Thanks
