Hi, I've experienced exactly the same ....

[#3]

Funny thing is that some emails get through - I can only assume they use the PlusNet server as part of their spam score and if there is anything else a bit odd it tips it over the boundary

I had a similar thing happen some time back when posting to a hotmail address, it failed on a retry shortly after. I think it was just a gremlin in the system because it was ok many hours later
