Subject: [PD 4863] Navigating Around Content Filters to Receive Your NIFL List Email

Hi All,

Piggybacking on our earlier conversations of navigating around site blocks and pushing to have them removed:

Many of your institutions have content filters that filter out emails that contain certain key words (I won't name them here so as not to risk this email getting filtered out). In fact, many of you do not receive some of your NIFL discussion list email because of this very reason. This becomes especially problematic when people unknowingly reply to a message that was filtered out by your email client. When that happens, you could miss entire strings of messages that may be important to you, unless you actively review the discussion list archives.

Since NIFL cannot prevent this from happening, check with your system administrator to discover if there are any content filters for incoming mail on your mail servers. If so, you should be able to request an exception for your email address, or to add the nifl.gov email address to an "acceptable" list.
