We're being censored! Kinda. (Was: RE: Offensive Email - RE: [Zope] Some basic questions on Zope performance/scalability)

I just sent that little joke about Fred being Jane and I got this creepy
response from some over-protective server in New Zealand.

I hardly think I've sent any offensive email to the list. Off-topic and
irrelevant, sure, but not offensive.

Most interesting is that it doesn't send you the offensive email or note
what the offensive words are. After studying my email, I think it is
triggering on the word 'blow' in 'joeblow', though it might as well be
triggering on 'Internet'.

Obviously, this block is on Mike's email, not the list's so it's not that
heinous.  I find it chilling but on the plus side, Mike's delicate
sensibilities will be protected.
