I couldn't find a single serious link about this on Google, just further
oddball bloggers and forum posters, many of whom admitted that they had
previously emailed the Whitehouse.
how about cbs news? and if this is a non event, why did the whitehouse
make policy changes to prevent it from happening again?
After Spam Flap, White House Changes E-Mail Policy

a copy of the actual email is posted on www.whitehouse.gov: (that
serious enough for you?)
http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/The-Return-of-the-Viral-Email/
point is , 'sfh' (spam for hire) which is what their service provider
does, got caught by two very good SA rules:
#1, the 'dear friend' rule (scores 2.5,do your friends start their email
like that?)
#2, DCC rules which check for bulk.
SA does a great job at catching 0 day spams, without specific rules.
political note ?, gop, dnc, abc, 123, lawmakers should not be exempt
from the laws they created.
'sfh' sites that take money from anyone that does not provide confirmed
opt-in need to be shut down, no matter what the content, no matter if we
agree or disagree with message.
