[Xitami] Xitami and PHP (fwd)

[Brian {Hamilton Kelly}]

Has anyone else seen this sort of stupidity when they post articles to
the list?  Quite frankly, I'm not going to play games with idiots who
so badly/sadly misconfigure their anti-spam measures that a post through
a mailing list becomes a false positive.  Especially, I'm not going to
visit a web-site which might just be a mechanism for harvesting known-
to-be-working e-mail addresses, perhaps even without the knowledge of
this mailing list subscriber.

If others have had such nonsensical "rejections" then perhaps the list
owner needs to have a quiet little word in the earhole of Erv.

   fix (vb.): 1. to paper over, obscure, hide from public view; 2. to
   work around, in a way that produces unintended consequences that are
   worse than the original problem.  Usage: "Windows ME fixes many of the
   shortcomings of Windows 98 SE".
