Hi, it seems your friend is putting stuff on the newsletter that SA considers as signs of commercial mass mails EXCUSE_REMOVE=3.299 FILL_THIS_FORM_LONG=3.404 Your friend is probably doing right (the REMOVE bit might be required by law) Maybe the "fill_this_form" part could be avoided, by directing the reader to a website instead It is the old dilemma: people subscribe to a newsletter and then let some system (be it spam filter, or some challenge-response idiocy) intercept them The idea to replace Bcc lists is perfect Wolfgang Hamann
