    I don't post often, mostly a lurker, but the last couple of posts have been sent to the SPAM doctor to determine if they are OK. I get this in my inbox

    Your message 'Re: If anybody plans to visit Munich' has been marked as potentially being spam and is currently in the moderation queue pending approval.

    I am pretty sure nothing in the message would trigger a SPAM alert, few keywords, etc. So, I will just ask WTE? :sigh: Ken

      Yeah, I passed that message through moderation. Occasionally the spam filter is a bit trigger happy - this was definitely one of those times. I don't know the logic that drives the spam filter, but perhaps you previously posted something that tickled the filter enough to put you on a watch list. Again, I don't even know if there is such a watch list, but there is certainly an argument for a design like that.

        Well, hopefully, I get on the right side of the filter at some point... :sigh: Thanks for that. Ken

          AFAIK, there isn't a "watch list". There's a Bayesian filter which classifies messages based on the similarity to previous messages which have been marked as spam. :)
