You may need to check your filters in Thunderbird. If nothing else,
telling it that anything addressed to this list is to be left in the
Inbox might be a Good Idea unless you've reason to filter out specific
users. Also, some judicious editing of /etc/hosts (or its equivalent on
your daughter's Mac) can make the problematic domains unreachable for
her by mapping them to 127.0.0.1. I'm not sure if that's what's needed,
or it it's more heavy-handed than you want, but it is a possible solution.
