I've been ahvng trouble getting messages onto the G-list, iMac list and G-books list. Everytime I try to send a message I get an error message. I'm not sure why I get this message. I use a gmail address for these lists, and the OS X mail program typically, mail set to send in plain text, but sending from the Gmail webmail doesn't work any better. The error message is as follows:

This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

    [email protected]

Technical details of permanent failure:
PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 12): 579 message content is not acceptable here

Make sure you're not using an Evil Word in the message, such as gener ic, pharma cy or Niger ia (spaces to fool the dim EvilWords scanner on the moronic mail server.)

(This kept me from posting to any LEM list for two months when they implemented this brain dead filtering because my e-mail address includes one of them. Let me note right here that this has NOTHING to do with Dan Knight, or any of the listmoms, they don't run the mail servers, only the lists. )

There are probably others but those are the three we know for sure.

Clearly you can post to the list, you did to ask this question, so it's got to be some content in that message.

I have a long, profanity-ridden rant on the sheer, mind-numbing stupidity of running content filtering on subscription-only, moderated mailing lists, particularly when the content filtering depends on the words being spelled *correctly*, but I suspect you don't really want to hear it now that you can come up with your own ;-)

Let me just say, there's a reason my sig says 'Ni!'.
