Snoping Snopes

Claim: Snopes says my mail system mistakenly blocked them as spam
Status: SILLY
Example: [Collected from my INBOX]

Here is a letter that I got from the Snopes mailing list :



Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2009 17:34:18 -0700
From: snopes.com
To: newsletter@snopes.com
Subject: Problem with your snopes.com newsletter subscription

You are receiving this message because you subscribed to receive
weekly update newsletter mailings from snopes.com.

Unfortunately, you did not receive this week's newsletter because
your e-mail provider now mistakenly filters out our mailings as
unsolicited commercial e-mail or otherwise blocks them from reaching
you. We have therefore removed your address from our subscriber
database.

If you wish to continue receiving our weekly updates, you will need to
re-subscribe using a different e-mail address or contact your e-mail provider
and ask them to stop blocking our mailings.

Thank you for your interest in snopes.com.


Now, I run my own mail server. I can pretty much say that if they got rejected for spam, they had a spam problem, most likely being on a real-time blacklist that is VERY reputable that if you are on it, you ARE very very very likely sending spam from your server near that time of being blocked.

However, the real issue I have, HOW DID THEY SEND ME THIS EMAIL?
