That's probably the fault of the person managing their whitelist, or a
failing of the whitelist's technology. One should be able to
automatically whitelist a discussion group to which they have opted in
and confirmed, thereby allowing all traffic on that list through their
whitelist. The academics are easy enough - for this list, just whitelist
one of these two headers, frex:

To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

or

Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Part of the problems with *any type of listing (whitelisting,
blacklisting) is that it's only as intelligent as the person managing it
and designing the technology. Much like the inevitable deluge of MS
Exchange Vacation Autoreplies that happen on any technical list when
there's a major tech event somewhere, if the software doesn't know not
to respond to certain messages, it will.

Part of that is a design issue, and part of it is an administrator
issue.
