After angels reported missing emails, he went out hunting and turned up a rogue spam filter at the fka.nz domain. All fixed now but some of you may have received a confusing backlog of emails as a consequence. Funny but not surprising to many, rb@fka.nz was flagged as the top spammer on the fka.nz domain.
