Here's a fun one for you.

When sending an email to a friend of mine on hotmail via a "perfectly"
set up mail server (not this one - haha), if I mention the words email
and google, or gmail, the email will never arrive not even into the spam
box. If I send an email with the exact same text except with those words
replaced with any other words, it gets straight through without delay.
