Those of you who use Parental Controls to manage your children's use of email via Mail know that you can restrict emails they receive to ones sent by people on a whitelist, only. If someone not on the whitelist sends a message, it should be first sent to you for approval, after which it is let through to your child in Mail.

That's the theory. Putting this into practice I sent messages from my various email accounts to my son's email address. None of those that weren't on the whitelist got through--that's good. However, I received permission requests for only two of those messages. The one sent from my work account simply disappeared--that's bad.

Do any of you have a sense of how robust this part of Parental Controls is? I did file a bug report on this, by the way.
