This is not a result of the Boatanchors list spam filter interpreting 
the CONTENT of his post.  It's a spam filter that one of the ISP's 
subscribes to that is saying that the IP address of the server from 
which Brian sent his email is a spam source.

He probably logged on again, happened to get a different server, and now 
is not being blocked.  Apparently, someone once used his original server 
to send spam -- or the spam blocker thought someone did -- and it got 
listed in a database of spam sources.
