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. ***

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.
