    I’ve asked someone to have a look at it.

    That’s wild. I don’t see any code in the plugin that would do that, but I’ll pass it up the chain too. Maybe the security gurus can spot something.

    The SVN repo is sane so its highly unlikely that the plugin is the cause. The only call to mail is in the email notification extension that only sends an email on completion or failure.

    Maybe your server has been compromised and someone has added spam code to the plugin or WordPress. I would check to make sure your WP install is sane and review your servers security.
