Blueyonder is the ISP part of a Cable TV company over here in the UK.
Looks like the are playing with various 'annoying' (IMHO) anti-spam
technologies. Personnally I've looked at this technique at a request of
one of users who thought it might be a better idea than the Spamassassin
system, we use. For this very reason where the 'from' is kept by mailing
list systems I was dubious it would work. Looks like (for once) I was
right to be dubious.
