Re: [exim] Blocked because of a name

Thanks

I had not thought of that
Is that a common search string for that word

Just to clarify it was not my server blocking rather a user on my server
that was being blocked by someone she regularly sends mail to.

Interesting though that if v*ra was being searched for would vera.surname
not also match?

Anyway it is a possible explanation, thanks

Regards
Hill

Have you a spam filter that checks for v*ra (Viagra) ?
