Well, it seems that someone on the -questions list has an ISP who believes in filting mail from sites that have "Free" in the name. That almost certainly catches a a lot of spam. The minority who have a legitimate use for those kinds of names can just choose another name, right?

If this match was intentional, your mail was rejected because I receive large amounts of junk email from one of the sites your mail originated from or passed through on its way to me. Since I receive more junk than legitimate mail from your site, it has been added to my junk list. If you are a legitimate user of this system you should realize that your system administrators either are involved in a campaign to send out millions of pieces of unwanted email to the internet or they are unwilling to put a stop to their users that are engaging in this form of abuse. It is also possible that your site name matches a word or pattern that I have deemed suspicious (i.e. money). If you have a legitimate reason to contact me, you may get your mail through the filter by using the following subject: I AM NOT SPAM I will then add you to my 'okay' list so future mail will not be rejected. NOTE: If you reply to this letter, it will *NOT* go to me. You must send a new piece of mail or forward your original piece of mail to my address. This has been to avoid receiving autoresponse messages from these rejection letters. If the email you sent to me was a piece of unsolicited commercial email, you should be aware that in addition to being rude, UCE is also illegal: From: http://www.ca-probate.com/faxlaw.htm Under United States law, it is unlawful "to use any telephone facsimile machine, computer, or other device to send an unsolicited advertisement" to any "equipment which has the capacity (A) to transcribe text or images (or both) from an electronic signal received over a regular telephone line onto paper." The law allows individuals to sue the sender of such illegal "junk mail" for $500 per copy. Most states will permit such actions to be filed in Small Claims Court.
