Wondering how to track down some emails being sent from WordPress.
I have mail.log entries that show www-data, that is, WordPress, is
trying to send emails from an invalid subdomain. The machine did have
this subdomain at some point, by the way. I turned on phpmail.log, but
it doesn't give any clues beyond pointing to
wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php.
Looking at the mail.log of the last www-data send, it says gmail has
shut the recipient's email address off because they're being hammered.
The log also shows there are 5 sends in the same second for job 12446,
like below.

from=<www-d...@p2450473.pubip.goshtv.com>, size=683, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
Why Postfix trying to send the same message five times in a row?
Suggestions? How do I track it down?
Thanks!
Robin
