They have been for a while. They are fighting a war against spam, and it's
well known that in wars people can suffer in cross-fire.

I don't think so. I would expect that situation to report the message as
spam, to send it to the junk box, or not to deliver it. In this case, it
isn't objecting to the message, it is specifically objecting to the
particular Microsoft filetype, and AFIA it is the recipient's computer, not
the ISP, that is objecting.
