I find it hard to believe that Cox has secretly implemented a policy of
dropping all outgoing mail that contains the phrase "root password." In
fact, I just sent this e-mail to the NANOG mailing list via the Cox SMTP
server smtp.west.cox.net, so if they have implemented such a policy, they
haven't implemented it on all of their servers.
