    Sorry this isn't any juicy Facebook relationship drama. Just a technical problem.

    A friend of my wife sent her a message via Facebook, and my wife's email received a notification email about the message. Then, it sent another one 20 minutes later, and sends one every 20 minutes nonstop. She turned off her email notifications but the emails keep coming. She deleted the message in Facebook, but the emails keep coming. No other Facebook message does this, just this one.

    I went looking around Facebook's help page, and they don't seem to record this issue. I reported it to them as a bug. However, they don't seem to have any actual customer service, so reporting the bug likely won't do much to stop the emails.

    So, don't anyone have any suggestions on how to make the emails stop, or else how to get ahold of Facebook to make them make it stop?

    Block the incoming address? Of course, that would have the undesired side-effect of blocking all incoming notifications.

    Try deactivating the page.
    Not deleting but deactivate. It saves all your friends and stuff but makes your page temporarily inactive.

    Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't even work. It's made me wonder if maybe it was phishing or something like that. But, the sender email matches other Facebook notifications exactly. Could it be a hotmail glitch?

    I've done this for the time being. It seems to have worked.

    Your relationship quite obviously isn't "Facebook Official" enough for her

    I just got married and as a result we both shut down our Facebook profliles and made one together. It sounds cheezy but its a good step down the long difficult road of a happy marriage.
