Yes, indeed. That's because their servers are melting down from the torrents of spam and they're desperate. I know several of them, this is what they tell me. While we have to argue about filters in the short run, the only thing that's going to make a difference in the long run is to stop the spam. Technical means have clearly failed, maybe laws will work.
