It's a shame the press are putting the blame for this on anti-spam software, as it's clear that the DoNotCall.gov people have brought the problem on themselves by not running a standards-compliant mail system. What's worse is they knew this was coming and didn't do anything to prevent it! It appears Mr. Callahan's message to nanog wasn't to look for advice on how not to trigger spam filters -- it was to beg us to add his systems to our whitelists so his suspicious-looking mail would go through. Looks like a case of "Good enough for government work" in action.
