That's how much a school district in Atlanta overpaid for phone service because a lower bid for the contract got stuck in the district's spam filter. The lower bidder, ITC Deltacom, had originally submitted a formal, bound copy of the bid. The district contacted the provider by e-mail with further questions, but a response was never received. The contract eventually went to BellSouth. ITC Deltacom protested the decision, saying that other e-mail from the same address hadn't been snagged in the filter, but the school superintendent declared the matter closed. The district's IT staff speculated that the term "long distance" triggered a filter that screens for lewd content. Sounds like it's time to loosen things up a bit. --Andrew Conry-Murray.
