Carol,
A quick search reveals that ChineseWall is an email filtering program and that TXU
is the Texas Utilities Co.
The most likely explanation is that someone at TXU is on the linux-Mandrake mail
list and their company is filtering / scanning their incoming email and then
sending the originator a warning / notice.
I know, sounds childish but that's business. They didn't single you out, they are
just being paranoid.
Note to whomever is out there from TXU, chew on this.....
XXX tra care has been taken not to offend. This author fully supports anti -
pornography efforts and has on occasion pulled the plug from the offensive unit.
Perhaps you might consider re-evaluating some of your catch phrases or at least
review your "archive" log and send apologies to those such as Carol who were truly
offended.
