2000 blank contacts created
July 12, 2012, 10:35:00 am
I was backing up my db to upgrade to 4.1.4 last night and realized that I had around 2000 blank contacts. I can't find what is creating them.

I do have webform-civicrm set up to allow a registered user create a household and add additional members of their household, also civi-mail is pulling in activities via email.

I have webform restricted to only allow registered users to complete the form so I don't think that's causing it.

I deleted the blank contacts and this morning I checked again and there were approximately 300 blank contacts created. When I say blank I mean there is no information entered in the contact record at all.

Any ideas what could be causing it?

I'm running 4.1.5 and D7

can you confirm if they are being created at the same time, or as a random dribble

Didn't think to look at that, it's interesting. Every 10 minutes one is created.

That's how often I've got the cron running for the scheduled tasks.

I have the following jobs set to run everytime cron runs:
Process inbound emails
send scheduled mailings

I have some others that are set to hourly.

Ok so I went and disabled all the scheduled jobs, deleted all the blank contacts and then went and ran each job and checked for blank contacts. When I ran the Process Inbound Emails it created a blank contact.

What would cause the cron to do that? Has anyone else experienced that with the Inbound Emails cron?
