@pfaffman, agreed. I neglected to include `contact` in my description of the “use of a mailing list as our admin `contact` email address.” All admins (all users for that matter) are required to have their own individual account.

Maybe we have a setting askew somewhere. It certainly appears as if this Discourse instance is excited to be upgraded. Here’s the output of the `/admin/email/sent` screen:
