You have then selected a service provider that is not
providing you service: legitimate non-spam emails to you are being
deleted by the USP. I would advice you to go to any of a number of
service providers that do indeed provide the service that they say
they do, some of them are even free.

On the contrary, they are ignoring me. Who am I to force
myself upon them? Had they, or their agents, simply followed
the SMTP protocol, my message woulkd have been delivered; they
deliberately chose to discard non-spam email. If they do not care
about the false positives in their brain dead policy, then it is
their right.
If the user has no control over email (data) being deleted by
the ISP, I suggest they go to someone who does not destroy their
data. In some places they can even sue the ISP for destroying data,
I think.
