Is TypePad's spam filter picking on you?

TypePad recently installed a more aggressive spam filter, which means some posts go to a spam box instead of being published. Please do not take this personally; it has even happened to me. I am able to rescue some of them from spam, but that means publication ends up being delayed. I am told the situation will improve over time. In the meantime, my apologies for the inconvenience.

Hi Helen –

An update and an apology from the TypePad team.

As detailed in this Everything TypePad blog post (http://everything.typepad.com/blog/2007/12/spam-update-we.html), we fixed the overzealous anti-spam filter yesterday. Everyone should be able to comment as normal now. We sincerely apologize for interrupting the conversation on your blog and are putting in place some processes to make sure that if the anti-spam system tries to get too aggressive again, we can dial it back more quickly.

Please do let us know how we're doing, and get in touch using the help ticket system if you need any assistance.

Sarah Sosiak
Product Manager, TypePad
