Because it is the e-mail address of the recipient you look up; that's all the
data you have in this scenario. Thus, for me you would look up a key
corresponding to user peter at the domain digitalbrains.com. The only logical
place to look for that without further information is in the domain
digitalbrains.com, which is under control of the e-mail provider. ISP here means
e-mail provider, by the way, perhaps that is the confusion. Unless I'm the one
confused ;).
