Email Censoring

I sent a missive to Tom Leitz, Nick Grammiccioni and Joe Naylor yesterday regarding using PDFs on the OSR site.  I hate the utter and total flatness of PDFs and how annoying it is to make them every time a minute change is made but no matter.  The email was bounced back from Tom who uses a bsamail.org account and the reply said that the message contained “potentially offensive language”.  I checked through the message and realized I’d used the word “bitch”.  As a test, I sent Tom another message consisting simply of “Carol Moyer is a bitch”, which he got.  So either bitch isn’t offensive or the mail system knows Carol Moyer.

    Clearly the email system knows Carol and is familiar with the immense amount of sand it would have to shovel to bounce it back so it just let it through.
