A Snooper's Dream

Believe it or not, email addressed to my main USA ISP containing the exact subject line

Too busy thinking of internet spy software and life for hackers I guess...

is rejected by an SMTP filtering program they're running. When queried on the phone, the ISP droid waffled bigtime about how it's some kind of spam filter, not that this prevents me from receiving any number of obvious spam messages (which I'm going to start routinely forwarding to the service address if this is what they claim it's really about.)

I've had a couple others recently tell me their mail bounced, but this has never happened at any time in the past years I've had this account, so it's a little suspect.

Strange, no ?
