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

[Starchild]

	Another point about this...

	I'm pretty sure all of us have received these hijacked account emails from time to time, and generally know enough not to open a link or an attachment about which you have any suspicions until you've checked with the sender and verified it's legit! 

	If an LNC member is not following this basic precaution, s/he is likely to learn the hard way by clicking on something apparently sent by someone else s/he knows who isn't on this list, e.g. from an LP member whose account was hijacked, as Alicia just related below. 

	Anti-spam controls that lull LNC members into letting down their vigilance when it comes to list emails are really not doing us any favors, because an email might appear to be from someone on the list, or even sent via the list, even when it is actually not.

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.
