Weird Follower-Email Addresses
-
Hi, I have been receiving a bunch of new followers through email addresses even though the blog has not been active for around half a year. While this is great (and I don’t want to complain about followers) it feels strange to me that there are several daily and they all are outlook addresses without proper names.
1. Could this do any harm to my blog or wordpress?
2. Any idea why someone would try to sabotage a small blog consisting of merely 80 regular followers?
3. What can I do to block them? Do I have to delete them manually? If I do, does it have any impact on my blog?
Thanks for your help!The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
