I just had a message to
a colleague bounce.
He'd said he was
having trouble.
But this email from
Mailer-Daemon@cougar.elinuxservers.com says that he has exceeded his
mailbox quota. That could explain a few things.
I noticed though that
it also says “Spam detection software, running on the system
"cougar.elinuxservers.com",
has identified this incoming email as possible spam.” and
this would seem to be a message that was in the process of being sent
to my colleague when the bounce cut in.
I went to their website
and found that the sender is listed as “low trust”. Whether that
applies to my mail provider or to me is unclear; they are writing in
jargon to people who do not know their usage so they earn a few
ignorance points there.
I went to their website and found
that “low trust” in their private language is the default for
most systems.
So someone is being
paid to monitor mail for spam and their method is to say that any
particular message is probably spam because most email is.
There was nothing in
the message to suspect spam. They quoted it and drew attention to
nothing. It was all based on origin, which a machine looks up in a
list, a list written by a machine devised by a dog turd in a suit.
I think the people
taking the profit have earned the right to wear the I am a frequent
wanker t-shirt
Well done Cougar Elinux
