There are two separate issues here:

1) The spending. That tripped some sort of fraud detector that caused a shutdown until a human intervened. No big surprise, I'm sure we've all triggered fraud detectors at one time or another, even ones that should have had a bit more brains. (Hey, it's Black Friday. You know I make a decent number of electronics purchases, is it any wonder I made several that day?!)

2) The spam filtering. Just because it's a presidential candidate doesn't mean it isn't something people regard as spam.
