Yes, it is, isn't it?.

(I interpreted the acronym, by context)

When I previously encountered a similar problem, the website to which I
was referred, appeared to have the intention of making ISP's use its
proprietary spam-blocking software.

That, to me, appeared to be spam, itself.

Sometimes, the actions of some ISP's can only make the rest of us wonder
at their intentions.
