Please reply with history to uspostmaster@[removed].com if you would

If you do not recognize the address listed in the From: field
above or the Subject: line does not relate to an expected email,
then the blocked message is probably spam and no further action
is required on your part.

Additionally, addresses listed above could possibly be spoofed.

Note that I added the hyphens for censorship (you're welcome, those of you at work). So, ironically, rc_pinchey's friend still got a list of all the swears he used. Clbuttic!
