There is an issue with Gmail and the Send Email tool - When I use the Send Email and send a message to a group of users, in GMail a question mark icon "?" appears saying something to the affect that Gmail cannot confirm this is coming from a scammer.

Blackboard provided 3 people from Support including an engineer to try and help us.  We are apparently discovering new ground with this and I was pleased how hard Blackboard is working to try and resolve this issue.  It isn't fix yet but we can confirm emails are successfully getting through to students.  I emailed the faculty what the issue is and we shared the information with our Helpdesk team.  

No faculty member (yet) has complained.  I believe "Knowledge is Power"

We will continue to work this issue.
