Bert,

Have there been a lot of cc's in your replies?

That is one thing that will tend to trigger the spam filters. I am not sure what the threshold is and I am not sure that Martin knows, but that has bitten me in the past on R-Help. As co-moderator with Martin on R-Devel, I have seen the other side of it there.

Might also be the e-mail domain of one of the respondents in the thread.

I think that it is the ETHZ SysAdmins that tend to control the formalized spam filters and heuristics.

Regards,

Marc
