I found this, you are using Rogers.com email system and it plays with email links to make the safe ..... cough cough

URL Rewriting / Link Protection: The system automatically scans links in incoming emails. If you click a link, it may be briefly routed through a secure tracking or safety checker (often showing a Yahoo! or Rogers security domain) before sending you to the final website.
Thank you,

I have changed my Freetoasthost profile to a gmail account to see what happens from within gmail.

I then sent a test message to the treasurer account from another gmail account to see what is the link showing. It shows as:

Is this spam? Click the following link or go to the web page below to add this sender's email address (Glendon Smith ) to your FreeToastHost club website email blacklist:  Click To Block Sender
Web Page:  https://8684.toastmastersclubs.org?blacklist=01061491-Glendon%20Smith%20%3Cunevieenrouges%40gmail.com%3E&_=wF4i

I get the same error message in that it could not be added to the blacklist.

Spam stopped for over 12 hours but we got over 100 spam messages since 9:30 AM EST.

We are getting lots of spam now from 93.92.76.xxx and 93.92.77.xxx.

It appears the spammers are always going to a new set of IP ranges.

Would blocking 93.92.xxx.xxx solved the daily resurfacing of new spam after a few hours of setting a previous block on an IP range?
