Spam emails from toastmastersclubs.org

1 year 5 months ago
#93244
For the past several days I've received a daily email message ostensibly from toastmastersclubs.org. The subject lines are clearly unrelated to Toastmasters topics (e.g., Buffett-esque, Oh dear, Google, Amazon unlocked). I've never gotten such messages from toastmastersclubs.org before. Are these originating from toastmastersclubs.org.? The source email address looks legit. Or are they from bad actors spoofing the site and targeting my email address?  Has anyone experienced this issue?

FTH has no mail server to originate spam or fall victim to spoofing. Spam sent to a public email alias (e.g. vppr-[clubnumber]@toastmastersclubs.org) is forwarded to the member's personal emails associated with the club address.

It's a common issue and FTH provides various tools to help clubs deal with spam that is forwarded through an FTH email alias;

Please post the internet email headers for the spam emails and we will check the source of the emails.

There should also be links at the bottom of the emails to assist you in blocking the email sources.
Thank you,
