Austronaut Newsletter in the filter

When You do not check Your own newsletter how different filter systems react on it, it can happen, that many receivers are not reached.

  Bad software, nobody cares about


To be listed in Razot can happen. Receivers ordering the newsletter many years ago do not remember and complain.

But only 2.6 spam points are by Razor and network. The rest, 1,7 wrong date + 0,6 for a formulation + 1,8 line longer than 76 chars + 1,3 subjekt are 5,4 Punkte. This homemade failures alone are beyond the 5 points filter limit.
