This is the banned list from my mates work. We have been sending stupid emails around at the moment, and have been so amazed with the stupid arsed things that mail has been rejected for, that he decided to get a copy of the list for us.

There are some brilliant "Nanny" bullshit ones on there.

eg: "Pinko" - Classed as "Racism and Bigotry - Medium".

What the fuck? Get a grip!! Who in god's name would use that as an insult and expect it to make even a scratch, never mind some sort of dent.

What a bunch of over-protective tossers.

I used to work for a computer manufacturer that used Matsushita parts and one day it was discovered that our email system had been witholding a huge number of the emails from them and any emails that referred to them. For the same reason "Scunthorpe" got held up.

You should try living in Chorlton-cum-Hardy. I tried to register at some site or other that required my postal address(I think it was the Charitygoods website when I wanted to order a Janet and John CD). It kept rejecting my address details but didn't say why, then I tried just 'Chorlton' without the 'cum-Hardy' and all was well.
