Re: ScanMail Message: To Sender, sensitive content found
Hi,
The various filtering software products can have some fairly
"over-cautious" reactions. For example, a lot of such software would
exclude any messages with the following words/terms:
chicken breast
Anne Sexton
Mars Explorer
Essex
Dick Whittington
Penistone Press
Of course, those of you with such software will never see this message;>.
Cheers,
Susie
