can "Spam Block" affect Slav.lang.citations?

[Prof Steven P Hill]

Dear colleagues:

A few days ago,  I sent a short query about Polish vocabulary to 3 
Polish experts on my own campus, about the un-Polish suffix "-TEL" 
in the Polish word for "citizen" ("obywatel," rather than *"obywaciel").  
Two colleagues eventually replied, & I have my answer. No problem.

But now I have a bizarre sort of follow-up question.  
 
At the time of my original query, I sent a blind copy ("BCC") to myself.  
Incredibly, the U of IL "Spam Filter" blocked my own message ("BCC") 
from being delivered directly TO MYSELF.  Believe it or not, I needed 
to go through a little "Release from Block" procedure,   in order to 
liberate my own copy to myself. (As I "liberated" my message, I added 
my own name to a list of "OK addressees," so that in future,   let us 
hope,  I would not be at risk of being viewed as my own persona non 
grata...)

This "self-block" had never happened to me before, and in fact I still 
find it hard to believe.  My original message had been assigned a very 
bad "spam score" of only 70 out of 100, classifying it as "possible" or 
even "probable" spam! (100 = definitely not spam, under 90 = possible 
spam, etc.)  Perhaps the several foreign (Polish) citations in the body 
of my orig. query to the 3 colleagues caused the low score of 70; 
and/or the fact I sent my query to 3 addressees at once? 

Has this bizarre sort of "spam block of one's own self" ever happened 
to any of you Slavists out there?   Or only to me...?

Gratefully,
Steven P Hill,
University of Illinois.
