Had to complain somewhere. This has nothing to do with Photoshop, PSC, chopping, or anything. I just wanna complain (again).

One of my many duties at work is email administrator. One of the sales staff got a bounce back message stating that his email message was rejected and purged by the recipient server for having the phrase "interest rates" in the body of the message.

Now I'm all for anti-spam and policies prohibiting the use of official email for personal use. However this is a little bit of an odd situation. See the server that kicked and purged the message is none other than the Miami Dade Police Department's email server. I find this a little too draconian for a couple scenarios.

1) Another organization attempts to email about a suspect and puts in the phrase "this person of interest rates additional scrutiny and increased surveillance". BOOM! Denied!

2) Someone emails in to a detective about a possible mortgage scam where victims are "offered better interest rates on my mortgage". BOOM! Denied!

I'm sure I could think of others. Stupid policy I think.

I'm surprised it actually replied with an explanation. That is more than usual.

Oh we get explanations all the time. Trying to send anything to yahoo.com or ymail.com addresses is a nightmare anymore. Mad

It's gotten to the point that we recommend our customers no longer use yahoo for email.

about 10 % of my emails sent to clients, get stuck in their spamfilters, and I have to phone after my mails to ask "did you receive my message?". in urgent cases this really sucks...
