mail filter problem

[David Overton]

Hi,

Someone on this list apparently has an overzealous mail filter that's
sending nasty messages to people who have posted to the list.  Roland
Roberts and I have both received them from our messages in the thread
"Old Loans and Retained Earnings" (message copied below).  Whoever is
sending these may want to adjust their filter settings.


David

P.S. Hope you don't consider this friendly warning to be "harrassment",
whoever you are :-)

The message you sent on 10/15/2001 concerning  Re: Old Loans and "Retained Earnings" has been received: 
as it isn't wanted, I'm returning it to you.

I have to pay for my email, like most people, and I don't appreciate being
forced to pay for unsolicited commercial messages such as this. My private
email facilities are not an advertising medium for you.

Even if the your message claims that I will receive no other messages,
 it is still completely unacceptable that I (and other recipients) have 
been forced to subsidize the cost of this advertisement. I have received 
nothing of value in return for this unauthorized commercial use of my email 
resources.

I will consider any further communication from you harassment. I
respectfully request that you take whatever steps are necessary
to prevent this from happening to me or anyone else again. No legitimate
Internet providers allow this kind of abuse from their sites.

Don't send any more, please.
