Apple's iCloud email service deletes all emails that contain the phrase "barely legal teen" it was revealed today.

Macworld has tested this by sending two test emails from a personal iCloud account. The message read "My friend's son is already allowed to drive his high-powered car. It's ridiculous. He's a barely legal teenage driver? What on earth is John thinking."

The second email amended the phrase "a barely legal" to "barely a legal". This second email was delivered fine, whereas the first is still undelivered. Upon further testing we discovered that the phrase is not blocked by Siri or iMessages, both of which can search and send messages containing the term: "barely legal teen".

Did he check the spam filter, assuming Apple let you look?

There would be ways of checking by sending mail to yourself from a hotmail or gmail account and seeing if it gets through.

email service blocks emails that look like spam? This is news?

Considering there is no way on iOS to manage spam, this is hardly surprising. Being able to tune it yourself would be much better, though.

If it had been randomly added the phrase 'barely legal teens' into emails that were sent out through it, that would be news. And hilarious. This is just people who don't know how email systems actually work finding out.

The emails are deleted, they do not appear in your junk mail folder. It is also only incoming emails. If you send an email with one of the key phrases (it isn't just "barely legal teen") from an iCloud account it will be sent, if you send it to an iCloud account, it won't arrive.
