Oh boy, strike out "a bit primitive" and submit phrases such as
"Mickey Mouse", "blatant incompetence" etc. And I should apologise
to Mickey Mouse as well. He isn't in the same company.
I had a message delivery failure for the message sent to:
Marius Stan <mstan@???>
Here's the exim log:

Look to me like they've set up Spamassassin, or something similar,
to score very highly because my message contained the lines:
To: Marius Stan <mstan@???>
Cc: exim-users@???
Certainly goes against the Spamassassin philosophy of not having one
thing cause a massive score.
If this is Google at work, then obviously it's their mail servers
and they can do what they like. And Google are big enough to throw
their weight about. Even though this is incompetent, bully-boy
tactics.
My advice is to not use such mail servers. Look for competence in
your service providers.
Tee-hee, this message also contains the lines:
To: Marius Stan <mstan@???>
Cc: exim-users@???
so I'm expecting another failure.
