FTH responded to a change in Gmail behavior

Some club's will find some of their member email addresses were replaced by the 'noemail' placeholder. This was caused by a change at Gmail and FTH has made the necessary adjustments to restore function. Affected clubs will need to restore their member's email address. If there is a bounce count error with the address please let us know on the forums.

Steve,

I've gotten several messages from the system--the only one of concern is regarding one I got this morning; it was right at meeting time, and about our VPE, who has also had emails bounce before, though his email address IS valid.

"[Wed, 02 Jun 2021 10:58:25 UTC, FreeToastHost System Warning]

Google RECAPTCHA detected a suspicious activity likely initiated by a bot or automated script.

*** NOTE: FreeToastHost may block suspicious activities in the near future. ***

Details:
Club #: 2345
Club Name: Toastnotables
User's IP Address: 67.199.223.172
User's Host Domain:
Attempted Action: Website Member Login ()
Google RECAPTCHA Score: (Mininum Acceptable: 0.5)
Other Information: Member Name: Roger Storm, VPE

If you have any questions about this warning, please visit support.toastmastersclubs.org "

I will ask him if he has anything unusual in the way he logs in.

I realize that we have sort of gotten all our users trained to think in terms of good/bad email addresses, but reCAPTCHA has nothing to do with the email addresses. It strictly works off of tracking user interactions with the form in which reCAPTCHA is implemented. It is looking for interactions that indicate that the "user" is very likely a bot or automated script. (we want to block those for security reasons)

Thanks for posting about this.

***Suggestion: Ask your VPE if they use a Form / Password filler for their login.
