Because the relavent RFCs specify that robot generated messages have a
null From line,  and Lsoft is one of the few companies that follow the
RFCs closely.

Lsoft has a FAQ on its web site (perhaps one of the Lsoft folks would
post the URL) that you can point MYISP at.  If they refuse to remove the
filtering, vote with your wallet and move.

No, because it is NOT Lsoft's problem.  MYISP is the problem.
