Whilst I personally believe that the post above, is not appropriate
for a software support mailing list, have you tried examining the full
headers of the malicious email messages?
I doubt that the messages are being sent from the woman's campaign
office (I am not one of her constituents - I am in another country),
and, I think that her name is probably spelled wrong.
The malicious email probably comes from one of Trump's
co-conspirators, trying to create ill-will against the legally elected
USA members of the federal parliament.
But, if you have not already, examine the full header of the messages.
It just occurred to me - if the subject field of the message, included
the exclamation mark as shown, the message was probably sent by Trump
himself (the inappropriate exclamation mark, is Trump's callsign), if
not his co-conspirators (the ones that re left at the outhouse, after
most of them have jumped off the sinking ship).
But, examine the full message headers of the messages.
I can't imagine "Trump himself" taking the time to spam Rainer's
mailbox, but that's just me - he does spend his time in mysterious ways.

As to Ray_Net's ways of avoiding spam, my strategies are as follows:
- Use a mail-system with a spam filter, gmx (even the freemail version)
allow you adequate ways of configuring the beast.
- Use email alias(es) for activities where you may come to the notice of
spammers, gmx (even the freemail version) allows you two or three.
Mails to macros...@gmx.be (I made that one up) will automatically land
in your inbox. If Macrosith suddenly starts attracting spam, junk the
address. I have multiple aliases for multiple email addresses, any
mails I send out have the real address but addresses I enter in feedback
forms are the aliases.
I don't know if GMX operate in Belgium, and they do send you their own
spam mails - I'd estimate five a month, I have a filter - if you use
their freemail.
My gmx spam filter is set up to send me a mail just after midnight if
anything gets flagged as spam in the previous 24 hours. The mail
contains the Senders and their Subjects, if I think it might be a false
positive then I log in and check. Sometimes I go months without any
such mail, then there will be one a night for a week.
