Note on IP Block Lists:
This warning is predominately for organisations that have their own email server, i.e. one not hosted by Microsoft (Office 365), Google (Gmail) etc. If you host your own email server and find yourself on an IP blocklist, you will be able to submit a removal request to the blocklist. As long as there aren't repeated instances of "spamming" the server should be automatically removed after a period of time.
If your email service is hosted by Gmail, Office/Outlook, you will share an IP with other Gmail, Office/Outlook customers. This means the actions of others can impact whether or not you are on an IP Blocklist. These IPs are rotated frequently by the email service provider, so any association is usually temporary and nothing to be concerned with.
