don't use 'chicken' in an e-mail title to an EE account

[andygolfer]

I had a succession of e-mails bounced back from a freeserve account yesterday and today because I used the word 'chicken' in the subject title, it was only a curry recipe but caused no end of hassle.

I found out that EE who took over Orange who took over Wanadoo who took over Freeserve have a profanity filter that blocks and returns an e-mail with chicken in the subject title and it took ages to work out why the e-mails were coming back undeliverable, in the end I found out the reason by googling and to say I was surprised is an understatement.

I was rather surprised as was the intended recipient when I told him why they were being undelivered, he will probably add his views here shortly!

so has anybody else found odd words blocked by anti profanity, spam or other filters?
