I was hoping that this plugin was good… Luckily I only installed it on my staging page. That page got permanently spammed by a message that says “Attention: It looks like MailHawk is installed but is not connected to the MailHawk service.” I don’t have Mail Hawk and I don’t want it. But this message appears on top of all my sites in the admin area now, even after deleting the holler box plugin. Thankfully I can just renew my staging page and the spamming is over. But that’s real shady business! Oh I just found out it installed “groundhogg” without my permission. So that’s the source of the continued spamming. What the hell? Oh, and of course even after deleting “groundhogg” as well, I’m still being spammed with this MailHawk stuff. Keep away!
