The offensive word was P-I-X, and I've no idea why this is deemed offensive,
must have some connotation somewhere, maybe I'm to naive.

Hi Adam,

note that it wasn't the list server rejecting your mail (as well as mine
quoting from it), but some subscriber's mail server. Just one unlucky
guy, somewhere in the UK, is excluded from our discussion. The jury's
still out on whether it's "PIX" or "implant" that triggered the rejection.
