number of innocuous test messages, each containing just the
text
1 2 3 4 5 7

An identical test
message from my yahoo account was delivered fine, getting the 0 hits
I
would have
predicted. Even more bizarrely, a second (identical) test message from my
hotmail
was also tagged as
SPAM, but got 21.6 hits.
Can anyone suggest
what might be going on?
