Looks like the mail scanner mistook the URL for a porn site and it also looks like the mail scanner can't distinguish between ".org" and ".com". -Kevin -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 14, 2000 12:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: fyi: stunnel.org implies "Sexual Discrimination" ?? Well, shucks, I had no idea I might be somehow making any kind of innuendo or whatever, but this here "administrator" named "scanmail" has apparently seen fit to "quarantine" my (innocent) message on the basis of "Sexual Discrimination". I'm tossing this into the ring here in a simple spirit of consciousness-raising -- programmatic semantic interpretation of human communication, such as this, both illustrates and raises a host of technological and social issues. Its ever more obvious to me that when evaluating an employer, a key consideration (for myself that is) is the social aspects of their security policies and practices. I would not want to have my communications filtered in such a fashion (or at all). I'm a newbie to this particular list, and I suspect that this list isn't necessarily the appropriate place to discuss the social implications of this sort of technology. Does anyone know of a more appropriate list for that? thanks, JeffH ps: there are "newsletter" lists, as opposed to discussion lists, where the author(s) expound on such topics, i.e. on the social implications of networked computing and such. A prominent (imho) one is the Red Rock Eater News Service, an archive of which is available here.. http://commons.somewhere.com/rre/ ------- Forwarded Messages From: System Attendant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: ScanMail Message: To Sender, sensitive content found and action t aken.
