We haven't yet deliberately blocked mail with these notices, but sometimes they trigger our spam filters (wording like "if this mail has been sent in error...") or are rejected for similar reasons, and I find myself completely uninterested in accommodating them. It is still tempting to block them. It is even conceivable that, should such a user accidentally send something confidential to one of our lists, the company could try to hold us liable for any damages they claim to suffer. In general I suggest to these users that they subscribe from a home account or some other address that is not subject to their employers' control. -- Regards, Tim Pierce RootsWeb.com lead system admonsterator and Chief Hacking Officer
