I recently saw an online filter system which had been linked (accidentally) to the spellcheck dictionaries - the net result was that ANYTHING which was not made-up words was rejected! A few moments work fixed the problem, but had caused a few minutes utter panic. So,nfhijdncf gghst hduiuksf jlsdc. kjhdf md gssd. Regards, Paul Ellison <SysAdm@edgecoll.clara.net> ----------

I wonder if anyone else is suffering a rash of returned/refused mail messages from cambourne.comm.coll.cornwall.sch.uk because I have now had in excess of 50 messages saying delivery of (an unknown) e-mail has been refused because of its nature! I think that includes the request to them to stop sending the refusal messages!

I guess that's the ultimate in anti-bullying, anti-spamming, anti-communicative e-mail filters. I can't find a 'phone number to ring them, either. Anyone able to help?
