Hi Steve, and others,
A few months ago, we made some changes to the configuration of the TDWG mail server in order to combat spam. This should have made it less likely for mailing list messages to be classified as spam or similar.
If you receive messages sent to the TDWG lists that are classified as spam, please send me the message headers. How to do this depends on your email software; you'll need to find a large block of text that has lines similar to
Received: from lists.tdwg.org (192.38.28.108) by AM1FFO11FD009.mail.protection.outlook.com (10.174.65.98) with Microsoft SMTP Server id 15.1.669.7 via Frontend Transport; Tue, 25 Oct 2016 00:18:38 +0000
I can then investigate whether this is a misconfiguration of the TDWG server, or an excessively cautious mail server at your institution.
Thanks
Matt Blissett

Thanks for the feedback, all. What I saw is forwarded below - apparently Vanderbilt added it to the body of the message if you didn't see it. It's the first time that I've seen it, so it must be a new thing they are doing. Like when they stupidly added <external> to the subject line of every email that we received from outside Vanderbilt. Sorry all for hitting the email with you unnecessarily.
Steve

What's the deal with the "This sender failed our fraud detection checks and may not be who they appear to be." that got tacked onto the message I just sent to the list?
