SEO Spam Attacking My Mailbox

  • Hey there,
    so I downloaded two plugins that were meant to take care of my SEO stuff. It was Yoast and WP Meta SEO. I deleted the other one since I thought Yoast would do just fine on its own. The problem is, since I got them, my mailbox is being stuffed with SEO-Spam, telling me to fix my website or click links I’m surely not going to click. Does anyone know, where did they get my e-mail from and if and where I can at least change my e-mail data so they send it to a mailbox I don’t really use? I literally just screwed up the spamlessness of my personal mailbox. I’m using self-hosted WordPress.

    I get SEO spam email daily. I also get email about companies that will design me website. It’s just life on the ‘net; I don’t blame it on any plugin.

    Fortunately, my email accounts use Google or Zoho and they do excellent spam filtering, so I see these only on Fridays when I check for false positive in spam.

    My Outlook mail also deals with it, so it all runs to SPAM-Folder. But I get positive e-mails there as well, so I check it daily. I was wondering if I could cheat them by changing my e-mail address somewhere to a different one or what’s done is done and I’m sentenced to the SPAM e-mails forever…
