again, tut tut that'll be another smack bottom then!
yep, this got me a telling off.

it's not so much filtering per se i mind, as filtering almost the entire
english language!

  Anyway I would be interested to know where and why this is being

  On a more personal note I wonder what my IT Manager thinks about my

  filling up with these bloody messages from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  stating that
  I have been sending vulgar obscene or whatever messages :-)

  and hate
   words. it only sent me back for the word porn though.

We're talking about two different filtering mechanisms here. The
mandrake filter prevents people from start flamefests regarding joining
and unjoining.

The original thread was about a "seven dirty words" filter at a
subscriber's site. Both filters exists.
