    The following is an actual email conversation which took place following a system upgrade at one of my client sites between a user and the on-site IT staff.

  Why would an email in my private yahoo account be blocked by our system?

  It is a daily message that I get and it is blocked saying it is occult.

  C,

  The Mortgage-Matic corporate IT department does not support the Astrology Center. You’ll have to read that through your Yahoo Account.

  However, if you need the messages from Astrology Center, feel free to request through the appropriate channels.
