Odd spam rejection

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?

Re: Odd spam rejection

Two possible reasons:

  1. There might be some rude words in that dictionary!
  2. 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)

Re: Odd spam rejection

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'  Crazy2

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

Re: Odd spam rejection

@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.
