HO blocking email with the word pornography

I have just heard that the Home Office (or the company they employ to filter their email)is blocking emails that contain the word "pornographic" in the title. The following was posted on the Melonfarmers website:
"I just tried to ask the Home Office via Email about the consultation, and where/when the reponses would be published, and the email was returned to me.
It seems like their email server doesn`t like the word "pornographic" in the Email. How are they supposed to do their job with this kind of stupid censorship ? How can they discuss this, when their email server censors the very subject up for discussion ? I wonder how many responses have been blocked because of this ? resending the Email with just `graphic seemed to be OK."
If this can be confirmed it might run well with the papers - Government consults public over extreme pornography ...
then blocks emails containing the word pornogaphic.
