Answers.Text: So,  I'm guessing that this gets triggered if the WordPress user email gets updated in a sync with Civi?

Body: <p>We a deduping a lot of records, many of which were imported from sources prior to using CiviCRM. Apparently, at least one merged record triggered a change of email notification. Can I kill those notifications? There are likely to be many of them.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a specific trigger? For example, if we overwrite a record with an old address with a new address instead of opting to keep just the newer record? The point is that we don't want to send a pile of notices for changed email addresses.</p>

Comments.Text: I have never heard of a "change of email notification". so you are saying if my contact records has the email changed, then a notification is sent to my old (or new) email saying it has been updated? do you maybe have an extension or is this just part of civicrm i haven't stumbled upon yet

Comments.Text: I think that's a wordpress thing isn't it? Pick some unique text out of the email and do a grep for it in both civi and wordpress and extensions - that should help locate it, unless it is a Rules config.

  We a deduping a lot of records, many of which were imported from sources prior to using CiviCRM. Apparently, at least one merged record triggered a change of email notification. Can I kill those notifications? There are likely to be many of them.
  
  Is there a specific trigger? For example, if we overwrite a record with an old address with a new address instead of opting to keep just the newer record? The point is that we don't want to send a pile of notices for changed email addresses.
