: This is not S|M spam, per se, but I got an email flagged as spam due to two factors: (1) there was a link to a known bad site (at least as far as Spamassassin is concerned), and (2) The socialmedian.com email was coming from a server without proper (actually ANY) Reverse DNS.

: @michaelfidler - thanks for the reply. Yes I was an early user of Twhilr, and one of the other AIR apps. Neither of which worked on either my Intel iMac or the PPC iMac. I do know of others for whom AIR apps don't work either. It doesn't seem to be a consistent user problem either.
