Well, we'll see if this one gets through. Not sure why this happened. I
am not running any kind of mail server, so it probably an issue with my
isp. I have forwarded them your message.

The 209.245.5.230 looks like an address that they would assign to my
machine when I dial in, but I don't know if that was the case or not (
don't have that logged). The ip address of the server I use to send mail
is 63.137.244.6, so that isn't it. I wonder if 209.245.5.230 got flagged
in the past by someone else as a spam address, then that person/group
released it.

The capital words were since I capitalized clue-cert. It seems a little
curious since the words clue-cert were capitalized in the subject and
the body of the message, SpamAssassin says that it is a 22% chance that
the message is spam. Well, they have done a lot more research on the
subject than I have. 

I also have no idea what the SMTPD32 part is. I did a quick google
search for it, but didn't see anything that would explain it.

Anyway, we'll see if this one gets through.

As for the meeting, I don't have a preference if we do it Monday (as in
tomorrow) or do it the second Monday of the month. I agree that a month
is a little long, but if it can't be helped, then it can't be helped.
