Is mail from x10hosting blocked?

I finally changed the web site hosting over to x10hosting yesterday and configured their email forwarding to point to my Plusnet account as before. All email to me@mydomain now seems to get discarded, with no message back to the sender (within 12 hours anyway). I tried the same redirect via a separate Yahoo account and it works fine.
I have a second domain (with no dedicated web site) and email redirected to my Plusnet account, and this still works fine.
Is Plusnet discarding email with x10hosting in the header automatically? Or is there something else I should know about?
TIA,
David.

It would help if you could set up the redirect that's not working but point it to a non-Plusnet email address. If you can then provide the full headers of an email received to the 3rd party address and raise a ticket containing them and an explanation regarding what's happening (feel free to link to this thread) then we can take it from there. Would also be handy to know whether or not x10hosting carry out any spam filtering prior to the mail being forwarded.

Many thanks - I've raised a ticket referring to this thread and included the complete header from a successful test message redirected through Yahoo.
I guess that x10hosting doesn't do any spam filtering with outgoing mail (or at least it doesn't affect my test messages), since the same message redirected to a third party (Yahoo) account gets straight through in a few seconds.
To help with testing I've set up two directs (my domain name is in the mail header attached to the ticket):
info@... redirects to Plusnet
david@... redirects to Yahoo
I've just checked my webmail again (I use Thunderbird as a client that checks both my Plusnet and Yahoo accounts but doesn't download emails marked as spam) - a couple of my test messages have now come through to the Junk folder 24 hours later, although there are others that still haven't arrived. So it looks like a spam filtering issue.
Kind regards,
David.

198.91.80.251 CSI is currently publishing the reputation of this IP address as poor
The IP address of the mail server doing the forwarding for x10hosting has a poor reputation and our anti-spam appliances don't like it. I've passed your support ticket to our Operations Team to see if they can do anything about this.

For now I've set up a separate 'disposable' Yahoo account and am forwarding email to my domain through that, but would prefer to use Plusnet eventually as its spam filtering is (you guessed it!) somewhat better

David.
