Hi,

One of my 234 duties, Tivoli being one of them, is the TrendMicro Virus & Spam 
filter on our firewall. These products allow you to build "white lists" (in our 
case Archive) any e-mail by from address. So I have placed all our clients and 
vendors etc, that allows ANY e-mail in from them. I added this newsgroup too, 
so no problems at my end. Allows for freedom of speech, so to say, and 
eliminates false-positives.

Update your spam filters white list to include From: @vm.marist.edu

Just a head's up to list participants.

Our company like many uses a spam filter service to manage our email
traffic.

If you include anything in your message to the list that might be
interpreted as sex-related or excessively commercial, there is a good
chance that list members won't receive it.

For example, over the last couple of days there has been a message thread
whose subject included multiple "x" characters.  Since in the West that is
code for sex, our spam filter intercepted the original message and every
reply.

I'm sure we're not the only ones using such a service, so a little more
thought put into what you actually write might help ensure that list
participants actually receive your message.

Thanks.
