Greetings @user_ykxpe0, and thanks for posting your issue to the Xfinity forums, I hope this message finds you well. I am sorry to hear about the issue you are having sending the email, but you have come to the right place for assistance with this issue. You mentioned that this happened after sending 15 emails. Were the previous emails successful, or did you get the error on all of them?

Thank you for your time today, @user_ykxpe0 I appreciate your time today. This error indicates your email server's IP address is listed on a Spamhaus blocklist, causing the recipient's server to reject the message. To fix, lookup your IP on Spamhaus, request removal if you are not a spam source, and check for compromised accounts or misconfigured DNS (SPF/DKIM).
