So much spam!

Show us your spam, best way is to post the raw header in the forum thread.
That way we can see where it really originated from what route it took to get to your VPPR.
We are stopping thousands of spam email and contact forms every day.

We always need your club number to see what spam prevention features your club is using.

As you can see, this is being sent via FTH through the contact the club page. These people have bots crawling all over the interwebs sending stuff like this. Adding a captcha or something similar would help. Toastmasters uses Cloudflare in the 'Find a Club' page and we don't get spam from that.

Yes, we can block that person from sending email in the future, but it is a different email address every single time.

I don't think you understand the problem. The spam is coming from server@toastmasterclubs.org, via our contact page.

That doesn't come from the club 'Contact' form page which only results in an email send when the form is submitted.

contact@ is a public email address and the available spam tools are the method to deal with them. Your VPE and Sec should have this same piece of spam. (the three recipients of contact@)

  

'melissa' has been busy and is now on the blacklist.

 

I disabled the Contact@ since we don’t list it anywhere. Thanks for the support and great job on FTH4!
