As others have noted, message content scanning is now commonplace. You might not be able to change the list software by much, easily; and in any case a notification that "there is a message" is nowhere as helpful as the message itself :-) Your two approaches are to avoid the use of SMTP for transporting these messages (i.e. give all administrators a local account, and ask them to check their their mailboxes with POP or IMAP; which does not necessarily avoid content scanning, but does it in a way that doesn't involve *your* reputation); or to evade content analysis by encrypting admin messages, either with per-recipient solutions like OpenPGP or S/MIME, or with a general shared secret scheme. Looking at client support, I'd say that OpenPGP is probably the better option. -jim
