Access issues

Hello
I've been with Plusnet for 6 months and I've used email for, well, probably 2 decades now.
As of an hour ago, I could no longer access my (non-Plusnet) emails from any of my devices - some email servers are on my own domains, one is on (Apple) iCloud and one is on gMail. My own domains report "Too many failed logins".
When I use my iPhone I similarly cannot pick up mail, but if I turn off wireless and use mobile data, everything is fine.
All other services seem to be absolutely fine, just email is broken
I've rebooted my router.
And now I don't know where to look next. Is this a PlusNet fault? I just can't rationalise what's going on!
Thanks in advance
Derek

Here's a PS...
My Applemail "Connection Doctor" tells me my iCloud and gmail connections are OK, but somehow AppleMail can't seem to get to them because of the other email issues.
I am suspecting it's my domain's email servers that are at fault but have brought down mail mail program as a side effect.
Please assume it's not a PlusNet issue after all (unless you know otherwise!)
Sorry!
Derek

Further info - the PlusNet IP address I've been given has been blacklisted...
What is the way to get this blacklist removed?

Blacklisted by whom?

It seems to be sorbs, which is the Spam and Open Relay Blocking Service.
Before I was with Plusnet I was with John Lewis and I had a spate of bad IP addresses there - they gave me a static one which solved it.
So I guess it's a Plusnet issue after all!
Sorry - I've not been thinking clearly as I was trying to understand the issue.

I'm going to paas this to someone who can explain this clearly to you - I understand the basics of SORBS, but @Townman will be able to explain it a lot better than I can.
