As the Msg Board FAQ says, a 403 error usually means something about the post's content triggered the spam trap--a suspicious keyword, often, or an attempt to hijack an existing innocent thread by altering the subject line (see the very next FAQ) . A quick glance at the evening error logs showed me right away that both factors were involved.

Gedas, your posting attempts involved the words "limited time," which appears to also have been popular in spam attempts recently.

Glenn, sorry, but it's just not feasible to address individual recipients by altering the Subject line. Since we do show brief excerpts of every post, however, the easiest workaround for getting their attention is to start the message with the name(s).
