Bah, that's nothing. I've had mail rejected on the basis that *.uk are
spammers before. (Justin Mason has reported having the same experience
with .ie addresses.)

There is no policy so moronic that someone, somewhere, isn't using and
advocating it as a mail blocking policy. (Although *generally* policies
like `reject all mails with the letter `p' in the body' are bugs.)
