When I helped run the abuse desk of a small hosting company we would setup very similar, albeit stupid, rules.
This could be done because we could easily change it back if it caused too many false-positives but most of the time those wide hitting rules would remain for years without any changes being made to them. It could solve an issue that was probably only a limited issue anyway but without any feedback to remove it or make it more effective we didn't care. At the end of the day we might have had 30,000 recipients to worry about. These odd localized filters probably exist at many smaller hosting companies and will continue to do so for lack of false-positives to change it. Andrew D.

The spam filter company won't talk to me as I am not their client. Finally, after forwarding multiple SMTP logs to both clients, and having the president of my client contact the president of their client, we finally have the spam filter people talking to me... I was told that the problem was that there was a rule in their filters that delete, without notice, all emails that have php links in the emails? Has anyone ever heard of deleting emails with php links in a spam filter? thanks Howard Cunningham, MCP Microsoft Small Business Specialist Macro Systems, LLC 3867 Plaza Drive Fairfax, VA 22030 www.macrollc.com<http://www.macrollc.com/> 703-359-9211 howa...@macrollc.com<mailto:howa...@macrollc.com> - personal For technical support, send an email to serv...@macrollc.com<mailto:serv...@macrollc.com> or call 703-359-9211 (24/7) ExchangeDefender Message Security: Check Authenticity<https://admin.exchangedefender.com/verify.php?id=t2PFOT29017369&from=howa...@macrollc.com>
