I'm the president of a club. Under club email addresses, mine is set up to get emails sent
to that email address, which is This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. I've tried every which
way to stop spam and each day, click on the "click to block sender" option, which is not blocking
anything. Do I need to resend the club website? Should I just delete my email address? I get 2
to 5 spam messages a day. This started about 5 weeks ago, in September, 2020. Is the club website
out-of-date? Help! Club #2567, Essex Toastmasters Club. 2567.toastmastersclubs.org/

If you posted your presidents email address on the net you will get spam, it is a sad fact of life on the internet.
If you are clicking the link to add the email addresses to the black list that is a step in the right direction.
You can also update the black list so just the @domains are in the list.
You can increased to spam detection from 5
if it is still too much for you, you can put a tick in your club website profile to remove your officer alias.

Thank you for responding. I'm a bit unclear about this. For showing @domains on the black list, are you saying that the name before the @ sign is deleted? For example instead of saying "This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.", it would just say
"@ domain.com"? For changing the spam detection number from 5, are you saying to increase it to a 7 or lower it to a 1? Also, I don't know what you're referring to when you say "put a tick in your club website profile". I'm not sure how one would accomplish that.
