Registration problem causes over 700 emails to be mailed

Partial copy of help request sent directly to App themes:

I misspoke and and asked for "login" help and if a live conversation would have been made the mistake could have corrected quickly without taking all the extra time to type your response to the wrong problem and having me to retype the real problem over again.

What I really needed was help with the new customer registration (not login). When the "anyone can register" box is ticked the no captcha, re-captcha comes up but I get several "hundred" emails generated sent and get notified by my hosting company that my PHP function is being disabled due to over 700 emails generated and sent form the program.

I then need to uncheck the "anyone can register" box to stop the problem. Then, no one any can register and only the administrator can add a user manually.

What can I do to allow only one registration at a time or normal registration? I had to delete over 700 registered members, supposedly added by robots. It seems like too many for a human reply to the registration function but I can't determine the cause.

I have deleted over 2,000 registrations 300 to 500 at a time from 3 times that the box was unchecked for a single day.

Posting this on the forum is questionable for a complete resolution to my problem. May be too technical.

Does anyone know how this problem can be resolved?

My URL is "division08classfieds.com" if you want to take a look.

Can anyone help resolve this problem?

Please contact me with a resolution if you can help. I've been trying to get this posted for over a year and have not been able to get a solution.

Thanks!
