I can't second this strongly enough! I had a very *IRATE* user
complaining about not receiving email from his boss. Turns out he had
created a rule in his mail client to block a certain four letter word and
forgot about it. The problem started when he added his title "Programmer
Analyst" to his signature block and he stopped getting replies to his
messages.
