    Hello Indy Southside Beekeepers! It's Daniel, your webmaster, here to
    explain the new email.
    We've been having trouble with the old "system", which was just a big
    list of emails copy-and-pasted. So, instead of sending emails like that
    I made a special email address m***@i***.com
    . If you send an email to that address it will be forwarded to
    everybody on the list. You may want to add that email to your contacts
    so that it is not accidentally put in your spam
