[Leica] Message Held

[Brian Reid]

The LUG mailing software will not accept a message that has more than 6 
recipients. This is part of its anti-spam and anti-virus processing. 
Statistically, a mail message with 6 recipients is more likely to be 
spam than not.

Instead of accepting it, the software forwards it to me for review. If I 
decide the message is safe, I approve its transmission and out it goes.

About once or twice a year a message arrives that says it is from you 
(Tina) and has numerous recipients, but its contents is some form of 
malicious data. Those I do not approve. If the world's senders of 
viruses and spam ever end their habit of addressing messages to 10 or 20 
people at a time, it will be harder to catch them and stop them.

LUG software has been doing this for at least 15 years, probably longer.
