Hi, sorry about that Dale, we turned that feature/blacklist on to see if it 
would do anything useful and forgot to turn it off.

FYI, the test showed it is not a very useful list, with only 12 hits from 20,000 
emails and it seems half of those were false positives anyway!.

I've turned it off, you should be able to email us now :-)
