I keep getting messages like this when I am trying to send email. This just started happening today and nothing has changed in my mail setup. VERY FRUSTRATING. Any ideas?

SMTP error from remote mail server after initial connection:

host mx0a-00004901.pphosted.com [67.231.144.212]:

554 Blocked - see https://support.proofpoint.com/dnsbl-lookup.cgi?ip=216.70.64.79

I'm sure someone will give more detail, but it looks like the server blocked your address because it thinks it's a spam source. If you're not spamming, then it might be someone on the same network spamming, or malware on your computer doing it. Or it could just be a mistake. try calling whoever runs your mail server and see if they can give you more information.
