I think our spam filter is a little too protective. I have had a few mails of people who wanted to comment, but were told that they suck (our spam filter). And these are legit readers who won't leave spam.
Any way to lessen the rabid-dog protectiveness of our spam filter? Or what is it that the filter looks out for, so I can warn the good people?

That's it, really.
I could change the message so it's more informative...
Or they could stop putting the URLs of web sites of known spammers in their comments.

Proof that we must always pay for the sins of our stupid, ignorant colleagues.
