Well, if they want to refuse mail from you they can do so for any
reason they like. They'll refuse mail from all large ISPs here in
the netherlands (they will have separate servers for incoming
and outgoing mail: they need different machines for these things,
because of the load, and this separation is natural).
I host a couple of domains, and ALL people mailing from those domains
will be refused: My server (the MX) does NOT relay.

It is their decision to filter on some stupid "hint" that a mail
might be spam. This is a very bad "hint", and has lots of false
positives. Their problem.
