Hi there, Discourse by default sends a summary of the post body in the new post notification emails for Watched threads. I’m wondering if that could cause problems if a few spam posts with links get past the other safeguards, which would get re-transmitted via email to the users watching the thread. In that case it seems likely that some users would mark those emails as spam, thus hurting the reputation of the domain / IP. In practice has anybody seen this happen?
