OK, but I thought that there was something that one of the RFC's
said about rejecting mail at the smtp level? Also, it looks like
they are rejecting mail, at the smtp level, based on message body too.
There are a lot of people who do that by using SpamAssassin to run
tests on the message body. It's better to reject mail at the smtp to
avoid backscatter.
I am just trying to understand why an isp would develop a system
like this. Seems very stupid.
Maybe they are trying to stop PDF spam. The system is very
restrictive if it is rejecting all messages with attachments. You
suggested blacklisting charter.net. That's not a solution given that
the system only affects charter.net users.
