Got this  back from a downstream mail/spam admin for our CanIt instalation 
who was troubleshooting why it wasn't getting delivered:

Feb 27 2007 12:46:09 mdf2 postfix/cleanup[371]: 6B9EE60044: discard: body 
aW5kaXZpZHVhbGl6ZWQgZWR1Y2F0aW9uIHByb2dyYW0gKElFUCkgdGhhdCBpbmNsdWRlcyBhdmVy 
from servername; from=<user at domain> to=<recip at otherdomain> proto=SMTP 
helo=<servername> 

What are the odds that a base64 encoding would include the F-bomb?

Is "Scunthorped" a word? ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_Problem 
)
