Blank Email Spam

9 years 7 months ago
#57805
One of our members is receiving several emails a day from server@toastmastersclubs.org. All of the emails are blank, and we can't figure out why he's receiving them.

How can we make these blank spam emails stop?

Thank you!

The server is just a forwarder.

You need to find out who originally sent the emails and blacklist that email address.

Per our docs ( support.toastmastersclubs.org/doc/item/email-and-contact-forms ):
How can you tell where a spam email comes from?

Emails may appear to come from server@toastmastersclubs.org, which of course you can't blacklist. However, they really come from somewhere else, which is the address you want to include in your blacklist.

To determine this address, click on the "reply" button (BUT DO NOT SEND) and the spammer's address will appear in the address bar. Copy this address and add it to your blacklist. Then close the email reply without saving or sending.
