It is all a bit scary up here in hicksville when you city folk can't even bother to get the name of the Wujal Wujal Shire right on and official document.

Prior to sending the original email, I removed the word WANKERS! and replaced it with W**KERS! to avoid such blocking.
Maybe it was the Aboriginal place name "Wujal Wujal" that Cairns City Council computers found 'unacceptable language' or 'offensive'?
Mike,
ReplyDeleteI'm very experienced with MailMarshal filtering software, it is all fully automated and it won't be "fooled" by a few asterisks or modified characters :P
Having said that, they appear to be running quite an old version, NetIQ sold it over a year (maybe 2 now) ago to "Marshal Software"
Its a great product if you're in the market for content filtering and anti-spam :P
cheers,
