Spam from non "@.com" addresses

Ok, see if you can save those in the black list now. It should handle 6 characters in the final part.

I have to be careful about deviating too much from published standards... it sets us up for other future problems if I do that too much.

Yes, it works now, thank you!

Here is another thought that may be helpful to you in this case, also.

Part of the problem with the officer aliases and the contact email address is that they have been published and in the "public awareness" for a while now. It is pretty easy to determine those public addresses for any club.

However, what you can do as another approach is set yourself up in a custom group with only you as the group member, and make sure that the custom groups with only one member are publically accessible checkbox is checked in the Email Settings dialog.

Lets say you created a custom group called speechcraft and made yourself the only member of the speechcraft group. If you check the "one member public" checkbox, then speechcraft-346@toastmastersclubs.org is a publically available address that is not so visible in the public awareness and should not get as much spam.

Get it? This is another reason I implemented custom groups. They actually can help with email security since they allow you to create and destroy email addresses.

I will definitely use that facility next time!
