    You're thinking that it wouldn't filter on her name being L. Dykes, that her
    email is ldykes@mycompany.com and her display name is L. Dykes? Rather you
    suspect that its a signature she's using in the text of her email that's
    causing the problem?

    We originally had a problem with the name ***, as it was a "sensitive word"
    that our software blocks on. Thing is, two of the top partners in our firm
    go by that name, so we had to have it changed!

    Thanks!
