Re: tinyurl filtering

2011-09-20 Thread Jeff Marshall
Hello Horace, thanks for pointing that out.  It's entirely possibly
(and likely) you are right about Postini's aggressiveness on the
tinyurls.  I attempted to add a whitelist rule for the
[email protected] recipient address to bypass the Postini filtering;
can you please send a test message to your list, or let me know when
you make your next post that contains a tinyurl?  Also, let me know if
you see any odd behavior because of the whitelist rule I added.

Thank you

Jeff

tinyurl filtering

2011-09-18 Thread Horace Heffner

Hello,

I today discovered that many of my posts to the vortex-l%40eskimo.com  
newslist have not been archived since the beginning of the year.  I  
narrowed the problem down to one thing; any posts using www.tin  
yurl.com  (remove space between tin and yurl) references were  
filtered.  These posts have possibly been filtered as spam by Postini?


I post tinyurls in addition to the long URLs as a courtesy to  
readers. This avoids problems with line wrap etc. for long URLs, and  
has been requested by members of the list that I do this.


Filtering such a useful feature seems a bit draconian, even though it  
can be used to hide spam. I have used this facility for list posting  
for years.  It was a surprise to find it has been unavailable to list  
users for months now.


Any suggestions for a work-around appreciated.

I hope this message is not filtered.

Thank you for your consideration.

Best regards,

Horace Heffner
