Hi all,

I also couldn't help but notice that some of my messages are bounced for
following reason:

   The message headers matched a filter rule

I included the header of one of the messages below, but neither of these
messages is sent trough Nabble, nor does any mail address has digits in it.
I also never had that before. Did you change some of the rules somehow?

Cheers
Joris
