Here's part of the header on the apparently offending message Date: Sun, 23 Feb 2003 00:27:19 -0500 From: Tony LaFemina <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: MacGroup: Software Laws To: macgroup at erdos.math.louisville.edu Message-id: <3E585BB7.80301 at optonline.net> MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT X-Accept-Language: en-us User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20011022 Netscape6/6.2 References: <ADCB11F6-46B6-11D7-B61C-0030659AEAFC at mac.com> Sender: owner-macgroup at erdos.math.louisville.edu Precedence: bulk Reply-To: macgroup at erdos.math.louisville.edu It looks to me like your filter is objecting to the domain in the "From" line, not to the sender. The domain optonline.net appears to be the broadband service of Cablevision. At one time or another most of the cable broadband domains get blacklisted by the spam cops. This happens because some of their users were either clueless or careless enough to leave a mail relay open for the spammers to abuse. | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be March 25.
