Alert Emails


Hi Friends, today we came across a creepy situation. Our Systems Team found about 1500 emails sent from our server to a single user with email Id not related to our company. 

By looking into the Notification Properties, we figured out the emails are going from our Extranet SharePoint Server. No clues whats going on.

Finally we came to know that the user is our vendor and has an external domain account thru Forms Based Authentication (EXT\abcd) from our company. 

The user is working with one of our employee and are uploading huge count of documents into a SharePoint Document Library which has alerts enabled to them for all the changes.
