Subject: [PCTECH] Email blocking inbound credit card numbers

I've noticed something kind of interesting on the mailing lists recently.

Some mail servers are blocking inbound email that appear to contain credit
card numbers.

I can understand restrictions on filtering outbound mail that might contain
credit card numbers. While it's obviously not a good idea to send a credit
card number in email, why would a company block mail that does contain one?

IBM i on Power Systems: For when you can't afford to be out of business!

I'm riding 615 miles (Yes, you read that right) in the American Diabetes
Association's Tour de Cure to raise money for diabetes research, education,
advocacy, and awareness. You can make a tax-deductible donation to my ride
by visiting https://mideml.diabetessucks.net.

You can see where my donations come from by visiting my interactive donation
map ... https://mideml.diabetessucks.net/map (it's a geeky thing).

I may have diabetes, but diabetes doesn't have me!
