Odd spam rejection

greygit1 — Sat, 24 Feb 2024 22:50:36 GMT

Why would any e-mail sent to (or from) a Plusnet address with a link to https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/ (or any variant of that) be rejected as spam?

Two possible reasons:

There might be some rude words in that dictionary!
Plusnet's e-mail spam filter is seriously broken (I haven't used Plusnet e-mail for years as I want to reliably send and receive e-mails)

Two more reasons -

1) dictionary may contain words that trigger fragile woke lefties

2) dictionary may contain facts which have been true for all time, but now considered 'misinformation' in this post-truth era

Blocking your email containing a link to the above, may have saved you from being prosecuted for a 'hate crime'

(3) it has a incorrect definition of the word 'woke', according to the current politicians

I inadvertently clicked the green box. The problem isn't fixed

Click Post Options then Not the fix.

@greygit1 - I've requested that this is corrected. It does indeed look like the URL is falling foul of the spam filter.

Edit: should be sorted.

Works for me.

I'll not progress with awkward questions on this.
