Big brother is watching - there are words that may not be used in polite company!

[Jonathan Leffler]

I sent an email explaining how to unsubscribe to someone.

Subject: How to Unsubscribe - again :-( was Re: Using DBI::Proxy ...
Cc: DBI Users Mailing List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: "Bharat" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

The rediffmail.com mail service rejected my message:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
SMTP error from remote mailer after RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
host mail2.rediffmail.com [203.199.83.4]: 553 sorry, your envelope sender is in my badmailfrom list (#5.7.1)

I think that means either Earthlink/Mindspring is on a blacklist or I am or he is, and probably bgbadhe isn't going to see this followup, either - though maybe...


And the message is not acceptable to [EMAIL PROTECTED] either:

<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
BOUNCED: Unsubscribe in subject. Send Unsubscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] for help


Well, I'm not about to push the envelope to see whether un-subscribe or u-n-s-u-s-c-r-i-b-e (or subscribe) are trapped too, but there are some words that simply cannot be used in messages to the dbi-users mailing list, it seems.

:-)

...Or is that :-(
