| 263320 | 2004-08-19 07:20:00 | Hi Was in PC World site looking for more info on SP2 CD in next magazine. I had a query, looked at list of contact details, clicked on the following: scott-bartley at idg dot co dot nz, it brought up my Outlook Express and I spelt out my question that I wanted a reply to. Next time I use MailWasher to check for mail, there was a failure notice from: mailer-daemon at drone2 dot qsi dot net dot nz which included the following: Remote Host said: 554 Contents rejected by Death2Spam. There was no spam in the message I sent. Nothing offensive, just a simple couple of questions. As I used the link on the PCWorld or IDG site why would it not be accepted? Have never had this happen before. Any clues??? I could ask the same question on this forum, but thought I'd go the direct route. Regards, Marg. |

| 263321 | 2004-08-19 07:28:00 | Hi Marg What did you put in the subject heading? If you choose a phrase that is commonly used by spammers this might of triggered the autospam filter to reject your email. Try rephrasing your subject heading to something more specific and make sure the body of the message also does not cotain phrases which may look like a spam email. Don't take offense at this, as spam filters can be a bit over the top sometimes with what *it* considers likely spam. :) |

OK, you got me there - that looks pretty respectable :D That shouldn't of triggered the spam filter, unless it was combined with the words you used in the body of the email. Just try rephrasing what you wrote and see if it gets thru. The spam filter might just be having a bad hair day. |

| 263326 | 2004-08-19 09:34:00 | Hi, Tried again, rejected again !!!!! :-( Subject Heading : SP 2 on Cover Disk Body: Hi Is it Service Pack 2 for Professional, (my Windows is sp1 Professional) or Home version that will be on your disk ? Thanks Margaret Manion Christchurch. Okay, how can this email be skuppered by them? Could his mail box be full? Maybe I should do it by NZ post? Or, do I wait till the magazine to come out ?? Does anyone in this forum have the answer to my question? |

| 263327 | 2004-08-19 09:38:00 | That should of worked. Anyhow, to answer your question, there is only one SP2 and that can be used for either XP Home or Pro. Doesn't matter. :) |
