Cheers, we've reset what's known as a 'fingerprint' which is a bit like a record when people mark emails as spam and with enough reports that's caused our email system to reject further emails that contain the criteria of the fingerprint.
Recommend asking Github to audit their mailing list to try to ensure this doesn't happen again 
I hope this helps.
