My first thought is that it might be Mod Security running on the server causing it. I think there’s a way to disable it via .htaccess, but I don’t know what the code is without Googling it. Might be worth talking to your host if that’s the case.
Have you disabled all your plugins and trying it again, just in case?
Thanks for the reply. I did disable a number of but not all plug ins. I’ll try that and I’ll check Mod Security with my host.
Thank you!

Actually I just went to another WordPress site I have which has no plug ins installed and have the same problem so it’s not the plug ins causing the problem. BTW these sites range from 2.7 to 2.8.4 and all showing the same problem.
Well a big thanks to alism! It was the the mod_security rule. Though it did not contain any of the words in the comment. It’s a mystery to them also but they disabled the rule and it fixed the problem!

A visitor tried to leave the below comment but gets a “post not found” when trying to submit at my website at http://www.musiclibraryreport.com. I have tried this on two other wordpress sites I have (www.munsongrecords.com and http://www.over50music.com) and get the same results. The weird part is if I take the word “to” out of the comment (after “aiff files”) or substitute another word, the comment will submit properly. Here is the comment that is causing the problem (between the dashes).

There is contact info on their website. Email, introduce yourself, and ask if you can submit and what the submission guidelines are. They have a nice system whereby you upload aiff files to their FTP site. If they are accepting submissions, they will send you guidelines on how to upload. There is contact info on their website.

Thanks for any and all help!
