The "Is this SPAM?" links feature for your club is not enabled for email, so you will have to determine the senders email address and add it to your blacklist manually.

See support.toastmastersclubs.org/doc/item/email-and-contact-forms

How can you tell where a spam email comes from?
Emails may appear to come from This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., which of course you can't blacklist. However, they really come from somewhere else, which is the address you want to include in your blacklist.

To determine this address, click on the "reply" button (BUT DO NOT SEND) and the spammer's address will appear in the address bar. Copy this address and add it to your blacklist. Then close the email reply without saving or sending.
