I assume the content filter did not like the words 'for sale' which were part
of the subject line of a running thread of which the message in question below
was a response.  That would seem to be a false positive.

Policy changes such as content filtering should be openly and completely
discussed before being implemented.  It is my current understanding that the
message in question (which ironically [or perhaps not ;| ] enough concerned
such a policy consideration) was delivered, despite the 'Action = Delete'
below.

That message started with the line:
'Responding to a request is not spam, as spam is by definition unsolicited.'

Installing a content filter mid-thread in the dark of night without notice let
alone discussion seems unacceptable.  Especially given the fact that there is
no spam problem on the list to begin with.
