How to send email to officers-nnnnnnnn@toastmastersclubs.org

10 Nov 2026, 8:06 p.m.

Hello,

As the president of my club I have been sending emails to officers-8310@toastmastersclubs.org when I want to send a message to just the officers. I just saw this message:

"Don't use the officers-nnnnnnnn@toastmastersclubs.org address. That's for club member use only. Emails from external addresses won't be delivered."

I am confused and and have a few questions:

What does "That's for club member use only" mean?
How do I send a message to officers-nnnnnnnn@toastmastersclubs.org?
What is the value of having an officers-nnnnnnnn@toastmastersclubs.org email address if we cannot send to IT?

Thank you,
Miike Riley

That warning is there so that people don't try to use the officers- address on a public page, such as TI Find-a-club or a District website. You might be surprised to know how often that happens.

It's not an address I use much myself, but it has come in handy occasionally for sending something to all officers prior to an Exec meeting.

It sounds as though that page needs some clarification. Thanks for letting us know.

I tried sending and email to officers-8310@toastmastersclubs.org and it never got delivered.
It was working at one point but now it's not.

That might be one for Brian to take a look at. The workings of email are slightly above my pay grade.
