Spurious Email Notification?

[Deleted2797112]

I got an email notification this morning saying there was a new post in an old thread that I'd posted in some weeks ago. When I clicked on the link to take me to the topic I got the message "Topic Post Does Not Exist". I've looked at the thread and there are no new replies or edits?

Happened to me plenty of times.
God knows why though.

The deleted replies were in all probability spam.

Thanks for the explanations, and for all the hard work spam-busting too!
