I sent an email to strongbad and got this bounce message:
>>>>>>>>
This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

strongbad@homestarrunner.com

Technical details of failure:
PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 13): 554 5.7.1 Message cannot be accepted, content filter rejection
>>>>>>>>>
I didn't use any swears, heck, I even followed a normal strong bad format.

Has anyone else seen such bounce messages from ol' Prof Tor Coolguy?

Yeah, I've gotten that before. I think it's because I used the word "crap" too many times in the email...

I don't know if they have a limit on how much space is in the sbemail mailbox? Did they run out of room for more messages? I get auto-answers like that from my friends when they haven't checked their mail in a while and their mailboxes are full...

And now, the top 5 reasons it couldd be.

1.each word is spelled wrong.
2.hes already answered something like it.
3.you sign-off is "crapfully crapful"
4.he got it, but deleted it
5. its "How do you type with boxing gloves on?"

It would be helpful if we could see what you sent for an email so we could come up with better reasons as to why it's been filtered.

it said smtp error, so maybe it was some kind of server problem. Did you try sending the same message again? see what happens.

If it was a server problem, mayhap the hurricane had something to do with it?

I hate when I e-mail someone and I get an e-mails back from MailerDaemon saying, vaguely, I did "something wrong". It's like the automatic messenger is a (pre-)frustrated teenager whose vocabulary is limited to "hott", "lolz" and "rox0rs" (substituting 'x' for 'cks' is so juvenile anyway.)

Well, if you still have the exact e-mail you sent in, post it here. Mayhap we can figure it out...

The only thing I can think of, is that it might have been too long. Remember, the typical SD e-mail is no longer than 2 or 3 sentences...

Hmm, I got that on the very first email I ever sent. And I can't remember what it was about. My guess would be a full inbox.

I got it last time I sent it but I think it was because I typed it in insed of clicking on the link from an email.

No, I always type my emails out and I've never gotten that message. Strong Bad hasn't replied to my messages, but that's an entirely different matter. Unless you send, like, two jillion emails, your chances are really slim.
