  Dear long suffering English teachers,

        The dreaded out of offce spam has been killed off.
  I have also built in some extra filtering so that if the exact characters=
 "out of office" appear in an email subject ANYWHERE, the email will be kill=
ed off without hitting the list. There are ways around it , such as an extra=
 space between the words, but we we will assume people who are genuinely out=
 of the office will be able to construct the phrase with the correct spellin=
g and spacing and will have it in the subject of the email. We will deal wit=
h variations if and when we have to.
       There may be some testing in the next few days just to ensure the fil=
tering is working as expected, however do not be alarmed as the out of offic=
e subject line will state it is for testing only.
         The damage seems to have been done between midnight and 9 am this m=
orning  ( Thursday ). 
    
          I know this filtering works because I wrote this email with the su=
bject:
      "The Out of Office SPAM -- from the Administrator " and it never got t=
hrough , hence the re-phrasing of the subject line on the second attempt ::)=
))


  We move forward.
       


  With thanks
