MTN mailserver blacklisted by ABSA?

I'm having trouble sending email to someone at absamail.co.za, I'm getting error messages like the following:

It seems MTN's mail server has found its way on to a spam blacklist.

I spoke to Claude on 1555 yesterday afternoon, he wanted to call ABSA and then have me speak to them , but I think I managed to convince him that it was MTN that was blacklisted and not me. Anyway, today emails to absamail.co.za are being delivered.
