It's just started blocking "Three" mobile network in the UK. Hutchison 3G UK Ltd. Three uses CGNAT so the ip address is common across most of the user base, so it can't be due to any specific behaviour. At the moment it seems like the only way round is to use VPN as I'm doing just now. The Spamhaus thing says it's removed the address, but that doesn't seem to change the blocking.
To be specific, which of the Spamhaus categories does this forum look at? It seems there's "CSS", "PBL" (which is valid as Three doesn't permit direct SMTP), "XBL" and "CBL"

I have no idea what the "CSS" "PBL" and "CBL" even means, but when I get blocked it can be due to one, two and sometimes even all three of those. I don´t get what´s going on, and professional IT guys who checked my device couldn´t find any reasons for the blocking either.

So I just got blocked and got curious and switched from Chrome to Firefox and the post went through (as well as this post). I didn't do anything else, didn't toggle airplane mode etc.

EDIT: So, I used Chrome instead of Safari, and that's what made the difference.
EDIT to the EDIT: It's also working from Safari again. I guess my IP was cleared again.

Hope it'll work out for you!
Though I have to say: I always use Firefox on my laptop at home and this does not prevent me from gettiing blocked from time to time.
Sometimes several times a day, other times not for two month or so.

We made some changes late yesterday to how this tool works. After some extensive research, we think we've fine tuned this to work more effectively. Please let me know if you notice a difference or if you still have the same issues. Thanks for hanging in there with us.

Thank you Kristi. I haven't seen any issues of late, so it looks like whatever you did worked.
