I don't, so let's ask the postmaster (to whom this is copied, with your
message as an attachment).

Suspicion:  some regular expressions were set up to reject worms, and any
algorithm using a regular expression in the hope of accomplishing something
non-trivial is bound to fail at times in real life.  At one recent point,
python.org blacklisted itself on those grounds <wink>.
