E-mail Notification gone mad!

We have a user that has set to receive an e-mail everytime there has been a chnage to the site by mistake and now gets exactly that by the dozens, but we can't find an option to "Stop" receiving updates.

We have another user who was set up without an e-mail address but now has one and needs to receive e-mail alerts but again there is nowhere for us to add the users e-mail, does it automatically pick it up from Active Directory?

Is there a setting we are missing?

TIA
