hmmm ... Did I send the wrong piece in reply?

'doc,' would you be so kind as to forward offlist , with full
headers, the piece which prompted that comment ... there is a
problem somewhere.

The admin at the remote end at orbz has been changing his
headers, and I have had no replies to certain automatically
generated content for the last 8 hours. One of the ISP's
through which I receive mail by fetchmail does NOT use any RBL
filters, and those are scrutinized closely by some of my
procmail recipes.

The next prior preceeding host
"FairpointCommunications.s8-1-1.ar1.ROC1.gblx.net" provoked
the test -- Global Exchange is a bit of a interesting
upstream, and provoked the enquiry.

but the 'Reply-To' seems to be munged by some changes today at
orbz.

For more information about the orbz blackhole, see:

Over the weekend, I did a careful analysis using this tool.
of 1000 rejected pieces and 7000 passed pieces, only 2 rejects
were false positives, ... not that it got ALL the spam -- but
it is a start
