Re: [MacPerl] What the heck is this?

[Ethan Straffin]

Hard to tell without your enclosing a copy of the email that caused  
it...but probably not worth worrying about anyway.  Your message  
triggered something in the mail filter of one subscriber out of the  
many on this list.  In these days of battles between sneaky  
filter-evasion techniques by spammers and equally sneaky (but  
occasionally overambitious) filters, it's hardly surprising.

You might want to go through the procedure and advise the recipient  
that his ISP is preventing him from receiving legitimate mail, but it's  
definitely nothing to get worked up about.
