Spam Control? - FreeToastHost Support

9 Aug 2026, 5:42 p.m.

In the past few days, I've received two new spams via FTH.
Because of persistent spamming via contact@club I've disabled that feature, and use another custom group mailbox for the TI Contact a club email.
That still seems to be there. And the public address is still disabled on the Contact Us Form admin page

I got one email several days ago from TechSoup, looking at the header, seems have been sent to contact@merrimack-toastmasters.org

Today, one from some fake lottery winner on gmail got through via contact-508@toastmastersclubs.org

So I'm wondering if there are any new spam control features in the new version? Or some bugs to be fixed in the new one.

Thanks,
Dave.

Thanks for letting us know. I will get the team to check why spam is all of sudden worse under FTH4

Seems there were a few holes in the spam blocking. I have tightened them up.
We are doing content monitoring for spam blocking now.

We are now blocking spam on IP, From:, Subject content

There is also a new report under Spam Activity to see what your Club blacklist caught.

here is a view of the 24 hour stats from my control panel
