Yes, your suggestion is what it is supposed to be.   I may refactor the algorithms slightly to place the [[Prototype]] access at a single place but your suggestion is conceptually correct.

There is no filter that I'm aware of or at least one that is controllable by anybody associated Ecma or Mozilla.  Somebody seems to occasionally block some mail traffic from some sources.  I don't know of anyway to fix it other than use use an alternative STMP peering path.  You may eventually get a bounce or failed to deliver message that may have some clues about the problem source in its mail headers.
