we do not delete spam but newsletter did not arrive

Got your message on the 14th warning that spam filters might trap the
monthly CRYPTO-GRAM newsletter that would be sent on the 15th.
Something fishy here.
Yes, I run spam filters, but they move messages deemed spam to
quarantine mbox files that I can review so as to catch mistakes. When
yesterday's CRYPTO-GRAM didn't show up in my own mbox, I assumed it
would be in one or other spam quarantine, and I went looking. Nope.
I can certify that our upstream providers do nothing to stem the flow
of v..... offers. Nevertheless it would appear that the CRYPTO-GRAM
email encountered some form of censorship somewhere en route.
I read the issue from your website. Being curious, I also saved it and
ran it through my spam filter. It was rated "unsure," with a score of
0.498695 (where 0 is nonspam and 1 is spam). Messages rated "unsure"
are delivered.
Thanks for your books and for CRYPTO-GRAM. Not often does one
encounter a writer on technical subjects whose output is both reliably
educational to study and enjoyable to read. You're one of the 31337
in that sense :)
