Chris found a possible cause of the problem:
http://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Other-EE-Services/Email-to-my-address-bouncing-if-subject-is-quot-chicken-pie-and/td-p/243530
(that's why I edited the message subject).

I don't know exactly what to do, since the problem is not under our
"jurisdiction".  Any suggestion?

Best wishes.
Mario
