Good morning Incidents subscribers... In the last couple days, I have received some complaints from posters about automatic responses to valid incidents posts. These automatic responses have been generated by SPAM filtering or virus filtering software. I would ask everyone to review their rule settings, or contact their mail adminsitrators to review their settings, and restrict automatic responses to mail from the incidents mailing list, or subscribe an address that is not prone to these issues. There are many thousands of subscribers to this list, and even if it is a tiny subset of the total subscriber list that responds, this can still be 20+ messages, and in some cases it could discourage posting. As an aside, this can also be regarded as information leakage, as often the software that is performing the filtering, as well as the destination mailbox is included in the message.
