MoonStar's spam filtration system is fairly complex, and the precise rule that the BotB applications were violating is something I thought I was being pretty sharp about inserting. In truth, it is a good rule; I just didn't consider that the BotB site was violating it in normal operation. The deal is that I have a rule which greatly increases an item's "probability of being spam" score if the mail is coming from one of our mailservers but has a from address which isn't one of the domains we host. The trouble is, mail from the BotB site is indeed coming from one of our servers, but on that site, I set the from address to the email address of the band (for easier replies). So my mailserver saw mail coming from an internal location, but bearing a from address of yahoo or wherever, and called bullshit on the mail item. As soon as I get off my butt and make the BotB entry thing php and mysql based like God intended, everything will be much better. :) Oh and on the spam filter thing…..the worst part about it for me was that in my case….I’m the guy who designed the thing.

It took me a while to figure out the nature of our small world, only recently striking me that your wife is the director of my son's preschool. And I believe your daughter is good friends with my friend and ex-business partner's daughter (her initials are J.D.). I find myself looking forward to our eventual meeting. As for the Hobo Stripper, indeed. That girl needs to write a book or something; she has a way of expressing herself unmatched by many bloggers IMO. Girls like her come to mind when I hear people generalizing strippers as being dumb or immoral.

Sorry about the spam filter mess. When I was in Alabama, my spam catcher routinely ate airline tickets purchased online. It was a piece of junk. You may not understand this, but your blog reminds me of everything that was great about living in Birmingham. It's good to know there's a little bit of the Magic City in Farmville. I followed one of your links to Hobo Stripper. That's the coolest blog I've seen in a long time, but don't tell anyone at my church I said so! ;> Lon, Thanks for visiting my blog.
