Thanks shanebp for sticking with me.

You missed the post where I explained the problem when registrations continued even when I disabled them (about 3 posts up from this one). Basically, there were thousands of pending registrations (i.e. with unconfirmed emails) that were slowly being completed by the malicious registration process. I did not want to simply delete them directly from the data base since that always carries some risk if you don’t use the API’s. I found plugin “unconfirmed” which enable me to view and delete them. Once deleted, the registrations stopped.

Also, thanks for your idea about the keys and salts. I don’t think that’s a problem since I have deleted all of the automated users AND all of the pending registrations. All of the automated registrations will have to be done again. Unless there is a reason I haven’t thought of, I’d rather not inconvenience my valid users.

Thanks again, Rick.
