Still getting update emails, but my email is not registered with site?

  • I have received two update notifications in the last couple days from a site that I used to administrate.

    They look like this:

    It seems that I no longer have a user account with the website (password reset request fails with this email), and I’m also no longer hosting this site…

    So I’m a bit confused about what is going on here.

    Anyone know how this might be happening?

  • I’m guessing your email address is still listed on Settings > General. It’s not tied to any user account. Contact them and have them change the E-mail Address in that section to someone other than yourself.

    Right!

    I’ve asked the current site admin to check there.

    Thanks! ??
