I know. I sent an email with a complaint about that (and the protocol
error with the blank line) to their postmaster. That mail bounced due
to a full mailbox. I guess they have more problems than a braindead
MTA configuration.
I wont bother with them any more. One co-worker has a domain registered
with them and it works as long as I don't bounce mails to them. The
reason for the original bounce was that he tested the virus blocking
by sending a test mail. I don't think the problem with MAIL FROM:<>
will disturb me as long as he doesn't try to send any more viruses. :-)
