I have just checked the invite feature on my forum www.bahas.in by sending invites to some my own email addresses. The invite send correctly but after some time another email come saying that ‘Thanks for accepting your invitation to bahas.in – welcome!’. But I didn’t click the invited link then why it automatically created an account for this email address.

Something retrieved the invite URL. Perhaps a virus scanner?

I am using sparkpost mailing. Is it may be the problem.
