Dear Sender,

The email you attempted to send to a member of the LAUSD community has been rejected because it contains a word that has been associated with adult-oriented spam. It is possible that the email message was blocked in error. If you believe this to be the case, please forward this rejection message to service.desk@lausd.net for resolution.

Sincerely,

Gashaw Teshome
Coordinator of Information Technology, Security
Information Technology Division
Los Angeles Unified School District

The exact text of my message was, "Thanks! Will do!"

    The problem is that your response was in ENGLISH!
    Try sending it in Swahili, or something like that and it will probably get through.

    Didn't the wizard of Oz use the word pusillanimous in the original movie?
    I didn't know what it meant, then, either.

    What was the text of the Principal's message? Copy it verbatim and send it to them. How great it would be to see it rejected. You could really give them the "Stinky Eye" then.

    I can't help but think, your "Exact Text" must have been a reply to an email THEY sent you! Maybe the offending "adult-oriented spam" language was originally in THEIR OWN message to you! Just a thought.

    Throw in a couple of "pusillanimous rapscallions," and they'll never know what hit them. My 4YO grandson just loves "rapscallions." lol

    It was probably the "will do", as it showed you were willing to actually do something, rather than find a way to push it off on someone else or pay someone off for a "favor" to be exempted...

    Obviously "Will" is "doing" something that he shouldn't be doing. ;-)

    I actually did reply with the following:Just wondering: What part of, "Thanks! Will do!" did LAUSD find offensive and/or pornographic?

    Try "Thank you. I will do."
    Then "I will do."
    Then "I will do it."
    Then use Google Translate to repeat the above three tries in Spanish unless you know that language.
    If all that does not work, there is always-- "FU U POS SOBs!"

    I am definitely a spiteful imp. This would inspire me to write them a brutal note using special character misspellings and colorful euphemisms.

    "You farging bastages are complete idiots. Your phucking computer nanny system rejected my simple note, with no negative words ...

    Perhaps the reason it doesn't work is because the coordinator doesn't know how to spell his own name. I suggest you provide him an 3nema with either hot lava or a batball bat wrapped in 8arbed wire.

    Did this PC note get through his filter?"

    The obvious answer is that you had to many exclamation points. It gets them every time, special characters are not in their terminology.

    Reminds me of my Son's graduation in San Diego. The FIRST AND ONLY TIME I saw his High School Principal was at his Graduation. Other than that he was NEVER AVAILABLE.!!

    They have never had a reason to be 'thanked' before...they probably had to look the word up.
