The Mail Must Go Through

An academic advisor reports that her outgoing email is trashed by the university mail server if the subject contains terms that are identified on its spam list. She is not notified by the server when a document is thus trashed. Unfortunately, the mail server seems to assume use of phrases such as "college credit" indicates spam. Like a spammer, she is having to develop a list of synonyms to sqeeze messages past the mail server.
