There are a a handful of companies that collect and publish lists and/or software that automatically for a local ISP block known spammers. If a major email provider like GMAIL shows up hosting too many spammers then these companies often take the approach of black listing ALL gmail addresses as the cheap and easy way out. Their stated position is that gmail has a moral responsibility to police who it gives an account to. My web hosting company 1and1.com hosts web sites very inexpensively and like gmail attracts spammers.? The SPAM list collectors sometimes focus on IP addresses and not the actual email senders. Again a cheap and easy way for hosting companies to cut down on the volume of useless traffic which costs them money. A couple of times a month I find myself on certain spam blacklists to certain receiving ISPs ( Free.FR is one of the worst at appointing themselves as their customers censor ...ironically the free.fr server is in Germany ...are you getting the message France?). About 20 years ago at the dawn of SPAM I had a small consulting company. I was using a small local ISP provider at the time. They put in one of the spammer blocker systems in without notifying the customer base. In the end they blocked email from a prospective client without my knowledge or permission and in the end cost me a 5 figure consulting contract. I sued them and they quickly settled out of court ( I suspect funded in part by the SPAM list software vendor) on the condition that I accept a a defacto gag order and not name names publicly. I accepted the money and then promptly changed ISP's no one should independently decide who you get email from IMO. Someday the industry will find a way to manage the problem the safest way is to police your own email and use filtering or tagging of your choice IMO
Good luck

I don't know really why that happens. My e-mail address is active by 20 years.
I'm using the same (paid) server since then. Only in last three/four months I've noted that very irritating inconvenience.
