I sent one (1) email earlier today to share my hubpost, and now I have had people say they have received 24 emails from me?
Anyone know how I can stop this?
thanks, Matt
Matt - Not sure I have any answers, but something similar happened to my son a while back (just not on HubPages). Some bot had managed to get his login/password info and spammed tons of stuff. Contact the HubPages staff, and also your ISP.
It looks to me like you emailed your hub to your entire address book of about 9000 people. One email was sent to each address, but it's likely that some people in your address book have multiple email addresses that feed into one account. I'd suggest being more careful who you email your hubs to. If too many emails that you initiate through HubPages are reported as spam or abuse it may cause you problems (both here, and likely with the people you email).

I’m wondering if emails from HubPages are being lost. I confirmed that I have all notification settings set to “Always” for “Instant Email” and “Allow HubPages to contact you” is enabled.1. Whenever I get a new follower I don’t get the email notification as I used to in the past. Just got one...

I am getting "love letter" from women around the world. Courtesy HubPages. I am not blaming HubPages, but these spammers seem to be getting my email id from HubPages. Any other Hubber affected? how do we stop it? Any ideas?

I can't believe that I'm ranked behind people who just link up American Idol highlights.I asked Hubpages what the deal was and they gave me a runaround. I'm starting to think this is all BS! Please help renew my faith.
