[Lnc-business] multiple-recipient messages improperly flagged as spam

[Starchild]

	That's a valid point to consider, Alicia – yet how often does it happen? During your time as LP secretary, have any LNC members' email accounts been hacked with spammers attempting to use their addresses to send spam to the list? If so, how many such incidents have there been? 

	I would weigh what I assume is the rarity of that occurrence against the certainty that numerous messages have been held up just from me, just this term, due to the low threshold for number of recipients a message can have without getting flagged, which seems to be relatively unique to the LNC list, or at least that it kicks in at a lower level than any other similar feature of which I'm aware. I've occasionally gotten similar messages from my Internet Service Provider when trying to do an email blast to many dozens of recipients, but not from any other email list that I recall offhand.

But sending separate messages would mean people not on the LNC wouldn't see that the LNC has been copied, and people on the LNC wouldn't see that other recipients have been copied. Is there a way to adjust the list settings so that messages with lots of recipients don't get held up as spam? Since only folks on the LNC and staff can post to this list anyway, features meant to protect against spam are unnecessary here.

That creates work for an admin to log in to the admin panel and push the message through.
