It's not the ISP but the mail provider (unless they happen to be the
same entity).

Not necessarily. The spam rules they apply can take anything into
account as long as its detectable in the message. That includes the
user agent, the originating host, presence of certain headers, keywords
in the message subject or message body, presence of attachments,
anything at all. You can't rely on a logic of "it worked on this so it
should work on that". Spam filtering is by its very nature heuristic.

Ok.  Bottom posting it is.

I'll abandon logic then which I do frequently anyway.  At least it 
appears to be working now so that's the main thing.

Thanks for the replies one and all.  I appreciate the help that can be 
gotten here.  Its great.
