XBIZ, curious to test Raven’s single-experiment assertion, created a dummy Yahoo Mail account and found that three self-addressed emails containing porn links made it to their destination unfettered.

However, explicit email subject lines like “PORN” and “Porn Link XXX” elicited an automatic “verification” process, in which we had to prove that we weren't robots by typing out a few garbled numbers and letters.

After a lag period, the emails arrived in our inbox; the email we sent titled “pics” that contained a porn link was processed immediately.

Lack of error message and bounceback notwithstanding, the automatic verification process was clearly tied to the usage of the term “porn” in the body or the subject line.
