[English] The I am not in the office spam -- from the Administrator

[mail.edulists.com.au]

Dear long suffering English teachers,

      The dreaded out of offce spam has been killed off.
I have also built in some extra filtering so that if the exact characters "out of office" appear in an email subject ANYWHERE, the email will be killed off without hitting the list. There are ways around it , such as an extra space between the words, but we we will assume people who are genuinely out of the office will be able to construct the phrase with the correct spelling and spacing and will have it in the subject of the email. We will deal with variations if and when we have to.
     There may be some testing in the next few days just to ensure the filtering is working as expected, however do not be alarmed as the out of office subject line will state it is for testing only.
       The damage seems to have been done between midnight and 9 am this morning  ( Thursday ). 
  
        I know this filtering works because I wrote this email with the subject:
    "The Out of Office SPAM -- from the Administrator " and it never got through , hence the re-phrasing of the subject line on the second attempt ::)))


We move forward.
     


With thanks
