I haven't been hacked.

These issues were changed back in August as you can see from their
modification dates.   I know to disable mail notifications when doing
bulk changes.  I did so in this case.

To do that I set "mail_delivery_method" to "none, which the Bugzilla
admin documentation describes as:

"'none' will completely disable email. Apache OpenOffice (AOO)
Bugzilla continues to act as though it is sending mail, but nothing is
sent or stored. "

However, when doing routine maintenance, running the "sanity check"
which checks for inconsistencies in the database, it reports on issues
that have unsent notifications and offers to send them.   I assumed
(falsely) that this the previous "none" mail processing behaved as
described, namely that it acted the same as sending mail, but with
nothing sending.  In other words, that it would record that a
notification had been meant.

So what we're seeing are old notifications that were prevented before,
but are now being sent.

I've set the mail_deliver_method to none for now, which hopefully will
stop the notifications for now.
