    Hi Tara. From your error, I would surmise the following happened:

    • You attempted to send email to two Apple-owned addresses, aixxxx@icloud and aixxxx@me
    • Upon connecting to the Apple SMTP server, mx5.mail.icloud.com, the server terminated the connection as recommended by the Spamhaus XBL.

    The IP address that was rejected was 192.185.83.211, which I believe is a Hostgator host. Since you don’t control the IP, and since it probably is legitimately blacklisted, I don’t believe there’s anything you can do to fix this. You’ll have to switch to a more reputable SMTP server, such as Gmail or Mandrill.
