I am not spam

Spent most of the afternoon sending off messages trying to convice people that we do not send spam. Some of the filters were way too strict (filtering on the words "contact us"). Most of them also filtered during the SMTP session, which is annoying because then you can't forward the caught message to the postmaster for review. Actually, that's probably not true. It's probably more likely that those people have not omitted their postmaster from filtering. I'll keep my comments to myself.

Of course, all this means I didn't even get to two of the things I wanted to work on today. Alas ... the trials of a webmaster (in the classic sense of the word).
