So what is their criteria for being "an ISP"?

Okay, here's a new twist on the blacklist/whitelist concept.
I just sent an email to someone. It didn't get through because the recipient's ISP blocked it. Why? Because it didn't recognize me as an ISP. That is, this service no longer accepts mail from "end user" accounts, which pretty much includes anybody running their own SMTP server over a DSL line. They give you a number of options, including rerouting your mail through your ISP, or getting your ISP to change the PTR record for your DSL address. Otherwise, the user has to turn off spam filtering. As far as I can tell, this is purely a blacklist approach, with no ability to whitelist a domain. So any small business running their own SMTP server over a DSL line is subject to this kind of blacklisting.
Is this a sign of things to come?
