I know the emails have to come from somewhere, but still... this was surprise.
Could there be a notice somewhere that the admin email is used to send every registration notification? Spambots are getting it too :(
I had expected that bbPress would use it only to send notifications to the admin.
Yup this is another area where bbpress has to be fixed before it hits the mainstream (or before the mainstream will adopt it).
If you are using it with wordpress, for now you can route all the login/register links to wordpress which does a better job.
I discovered this by accident from the plugin that email favorites which I then had to hack directly to fix.
I'll open a ticket in trac if there isn't one already.
