FTH responded to a change in Gmail behavior

Some clubs 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.

Club 1196053 - Spam eMails that don't have eMail address that can be blacklisted

2 months 1 week ago
#98253
Greetings! 


I am in Club 1196053 and we've recently gotten a few spam eMails that were formatted by the sender so that the eMail address isn't clear. The eMails are fowarded from FTH as expected with the option to Blackist the sender. When the blacklist link provided in the eMail (sample attached) is clicked the sender is not being added to the blacklist as the email address is invalid. Attached is an example of the result from clicking the link. When I receive an email that cannot be added to the blacklist with the link, I'm using the admin console to blacklist the reply to address.

Buried in the raw header is 
Code:
Sender: jacob.wilson4586@gmail.com

They are probably using a hacked email account and trying to hide the email.

Block that email and hope they aren't too smart.

Thank you, @rdurling. I had the same issue (SPAM that I couldn't easily block because the email address came up in the block request as invalid). I have now successfully blocked the email address manually using the admin console. My question is: how did the sender manage to send an email to members-xxxx@toastmastersclubs.org (where xxxx is the club number) in the first place?

1) where are they sending to if it an officers forwarder we don't block them
2) they could be faking a members email address as the from.
