I hope you donīt laugh too much and think about the problems of filtering mails from 
time to time:

67.106.13.26 does not like recipient.
... Schicken Sie hat abgelehnt ab. Es war
entweder werbe, dumm, oder nur Drgern.
Giving up on 67.106.13.26.

Can you tell me what Drgern means? And who did this nice translation? (A 4 year old 
child after his 3rd german lesson? Is it usual that you get rude within a 
smtp-session?) Did you notice that a mail sent to you was filtered? Do your users know 
that? What about false positives? Just laugh - or think - a bit about this. ;-)
