Your email address/domain/provider is on a blacklist - you will need to get off it somehow. Instructions on removal from it are over on http://www.mail-abuse.com/

As explained here it's because the IP address of your ISP's email server is on a list of email servers which has been sending out spam etc.

Use the IP Lookup Tool to check and then the Removal Request at http://www.mail-abuse.com/lookup.html

I had this with Wanadoo, as some of it's mail servers have sent spam in the past. By the time I'd started to sort it out, someone else had done it already... :rolleyes:

If it happens a lot, you should change your mail provider

This is happening to me with Gmail to certain recipients. Anyone else got the same problem? Anything I can do about it? It doesn't happen with yahoo mail sent via same PC.
Thank you

If you get the exact same message as the OP then the recipients mail server is using a list that has blacklisted GMail.

Nothing you can do about that really as they probably have a good reason for excluding that domain.
