I've just had one of my customers complain that my service wasn't
forwarding his emails properly. After some investigation is seems that
freeserve.co.uk are blocking all messages with the subject "test"
(presumably to stop the latest virus)!

Can anybody else confirm this?

Do you think this is an appropriate way for a *major* ISP to combat a
virus (you might note a hint of sarcasm in my question there ;-) What
next, block messages with the subject "hi"???
