		<title>Spam filtering foiled by DNS-based whitelisting gone awry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I've had a sense recently that more spam than usual has been making its way through my mail server's filters, and I took the time tonight to figure out why.

		<title>New airport fondling; no gay military</title>
