Yeah, I've seen this before, I think it's some kind of misguided attempt to reduce spam. (If you meant the check against From: not being from the mailservers own domain, instead of just checking the network of the sending host).

Correct. Charter now will not forward mail that does not originate from an @charter* domain.
