This is getting ridiculous.  I received the following mail rejection

Ok, the word "free" was used in the subject and this site rejected it?!
So, we can't discuss free storage, or free memory, etc?


Everytime Bob Richards posts, I get a flurry of rejections because
some analyzers thinks his posts are spam. Probably because of the
disclaimer that gets put at the end of his posts...not his fault.

I have a subscriber from Aetna that everytime they post, I get a flurry
of rejections from various sites because they think there is a mail loop.
A post from aetna.com goes through about 6 mailers before reaching
outside their internal network and by the time you add on the headers
here at bama, it exceeds the allowable hop count. I thought the default
hop count was in the 20's, but some sites have their hop count set to 10
or less!  Gimme a break!

I want to stress that these problems are NOT the fault of the poster or
even the recipient whose mailer is bouncing.  I'm going to have to start
asking some subscribers to use a less restrictive email address. I get
on average 300-400 rejections a day. I shouldn't have to put up with this.
So, if I ask you to subscribe with a different email address, please don't
take it personally.  It's either use a different address or get your mail
administrators to lighten up.

ok, I'm done ranting now.
