7th April 2023: We have reported issues of being on a blacklist : https://www.spamhaus.org/sbl/query/SBLCSS
After investigation I believe this to be due to a number of invalid emails in our system, which get bounced by remote mail servers. We have been working the last few weeks to validate and tidy up all our email addresses and will have a full solution implemented soon.
Hopefully email through our system will not be impacted, but it may be that it gets delayed a short period. Apologies for the inconvenience.
Blacklist was resolved. dicovered the issue was due to the way I was testing the HELO command, I was testing with gmail and outlook (which apparently is a no-no for testing)
