The attempts triggered Wordfence to send notification emails to me, as I had it set to do that. Unfortunately, there were hundreds of attempts using a blank user name each one from a different IP address. To Wordfence they were all different attempts. Wordfence did what it was supposed to and sent an email notification, hundreds of them. Our host then shut down the entire hosting package stating that it was due too many emails from a formmail script. That being the Wordfence security plugin. Although, the host does not help identify the problem in any way, nor did they give any warning. Site still down until they review my request to reactivate after deleting Wordfence. Only way I can access is by FTP. Short answer though, Wordfence does not have that capability.
