[Tutor] The mailer software is blocking a post of mine

[Scot W. Stevenson]

Hi there, 

I'm trying to post a message on the tutor@python.org list with the subject
"High level file handling in the rain", and what I keep getting back is

============================================
   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<tutor@python.org>
    (reason: 550-spam not wanted here)

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
... while talking to mail.python.org.:
>>> DATA
<<< 550-spam not wanted here
<<< 550 (subject line includes "ADV" or "HGH")
554 5.0.0 Service unavailable
=============================================

I don't see a "adv" in the subject line, and the only "hgh" has an "i" 
smack in the middle of it (does it block songs by The Doors, too?). I'll 
try to post it under a different subject line; if that doesn't work, could 
somebody tell me what the SMTP problem really is?

Y, Scot
