bobbietron has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

hi there, i have a strange problem, i have a form 2 mail script. It works fine, except when the word adult is entered into any field at which point the email is not sent, i have checked and it seems when the word adult appeards in the print MAIL lines

print MAIL "adult\n";

it causes the email not to be sent, although the rest of code executes fine, sendmail opens and closes fine. I thought maybe my server has a spam filter, but other 'worse' words don't inhibit the sending of mail. any ideas? thanks!

    The mail server might have some kind of spam filter that forbids that. Ask your system administrator.

    Check the logs.
