I suspect so as well.  I was able to send an email by hand to their postmaster@ address, though, so it seems that this is contact-specific.  Try generating a prepared set of SMTP commands:

HELO ...
MAIL FROM: ...
RCPT TO: ...
DATA
...
.

and issue them into a telnet session on port 25 of their mail server.

Make sure you're really talking to their server and not your local antivirus program.
