Re: PDL anti-spam blacklist

["Mark" <mark () uniontown com>]

Maybe it's the word "marketing" in your domain name (looking at your return
address)?

The word "marketing" has been plagued with the same mentality as "hacker".
A "hacker", in my day, was not a bad person.

Some email spam control packages will scrub email on keywords like mortgage
or marketing, I wouldn't doubt that some services start their lists by
adding every domain that has the word marketing in the WHOIS or reverse DNS
lookups.
