So where is the line drawn, if I as the Distributor configure the list
to send messages:
1. To /dev/null or bouce them as spam (not "via" already, by precedent).
2. To send them to spam folder, but save them so I can read them .
3. To send them to myself only, at a different email account (how is
that different than #2?)
4. To send them to myself and one other co-conspirator.
5. To send them to N co-conspirators, where N is less than the
number of players who made every reasonable effort to ensure
they were receiving messages?
This is one of those cases where I don't see the clear dividing line
here, so I'm just very curious where you (or anyone else) thinks it
lies.
