Correct, but that misses the point.  They are an 800 lb. gorilla that
you have to allow for.  Try telling a customer to go complain to
Expedia's mail admin for being an ass and watch their reaction.  Unless
you control the user (i.e. a strict corporate environment) blocking
expedia.com, ebay.com, paypal.com etc. is not an option.

They were permanently blacklisted.  You can find 'expedia.com' on line
6368 of url_domain_bl.txt.  I just downloaded the 11/11 file set from
Ipswitchand its still there.  Note the global nature of the entry.

In my case, the string that triggered it was 'www.expedia.com'.  After
checking the mailpiece I see that string was nowhere except in the body;
so the blockage had nothing to do with their mail servers.
