Re: How did this not get blocked???

[DC <dan.newsletter@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Michael,

Would you post a summary of your experiences with getting the SMTP filters
to run properly?  

I would and I think the list would benefit greatly from a bit of
documentation of your learnings.

--What were you doing wrong before?
--How did you/Anita fix it?
--What do you understand now that you didn't before?
--What tricky things are there to remember when setting up SMTP filters?

Thanks!
