Something in the From or in the Sender was in the global deny list.  The
global deny list contains a list of email addresses from which we do not
accept email.  I put anyone who sends spam into that list.  I see the
block but I don't understand why it happened since
cagney-BLAH-gnu-BLAH-org is not in the deny list.  The only thing that I
can see that is gdb related that is in the global deny list is:
bug-gdb-BLAH-prep-BLAH-ai-BLAH-mit-BLAH-edu .

This is weird, though, because one message was blocked and another made
it through 21 seconds later from the same user and the same IP address.
So, unless you can explain what the difference is between the two messages
this may have to remain a mystery.
