Many people have both home and work email addresses, but the "anti-spam" code in FTH checks against the "registered" email address (usually home) and rejects the broadcast email attempt if it came from the "unlisted" work email address.

There is a kludge bypass by putting both addresses in the "registered" field, separated by a comma, but that

(1) sometimes seemed to malfunction and cause broadcast attempts to fail, and

(2) guarantees all broadcasts go to both email addresses, which can sometimes be a problem with employer's who frown on receiving non-business emails at work.

The hope is that the code would support a list of "authorized" email sources, but either only broadcast to the first one in the list or allow the user to designate which ones should receive the broadcast.

This request appeared many times in the past by many different people, but seems to have dropped off the forum lists, so I am posting it yet again.

Bill thank you for reposting a very clear definitioon of what you are looking for.
