Spam filtering

[Edward A. Dauer]

Before the authorities close this useful but somewhat-OT thread, I would share one anecdote told to me to be true, though I can't personally vouch for it, about an unnamed university twenty-plus years ago.  The IT department decided to install filters that would block both incoming and outgoing e-mail that contained offensive language.  So they made up a dirty words list, not telling any of the clients what was on it or even that it existed.  It was discovered when the Political Science Department got no responses to its e-blast announcement of a conference titled something like "Contemporary Issues in Capitalism, Socialism, and Communitarianism."  

The word Socialism contains the word Cialis.  

Or so the story goes.

Ted, KN1CBR

Hi Rich,

No problems. We are many hundreds of miles north and south of the fires here on the Monterey Bay. (About at the middle of the state on the coast.). But we are seeing some smoke getting blown down here in the last day or so.

Thanks for the concern!

Regards,
Eric
