I think the motivation was just complaints about spam coming from their
IPs, regardless of whether it went through their SMTP relay or not.  So
now they're trying to filter all mail traffic in hopes of avoiding phone
calls and blacklists.  It's really not the ISP's responsibility, and
they shouldn't be firewalling their customers, but it's a pragmatic
issue.
