If "Blocking" is in effect, one of two buttons: (a) ``Move to Inbox'' or (b) ``Confirm Receipt'' will be displayed below each new critical message, but their equivalents with the reply option will not be. Users will also be unable to send regular LON-CAPA messages, except via ``Send Feedback'' (in course context) to send questions to an instructor or other designated course personnel. If ``Send Feedback'' is used within a session subject to IP-based blocking, subject and content originally sent will be replaced in the sender's ``Sent Messages'' Folder with the text: "Not shown due to IP block". Lastly, if the ``Ask helpdesk form settings'' for the domain include the``Cc e-mail'' field as an optional field, that will not apply in the case where IP-based blocking of ``Messaging'' is in effect for a logged-in user who is completing the help form. \item Courses/Communities allowed
