a client contacted att.net about their blockage on JH, this was their reply.
Is there nothing more we can do?

Dear AT&T WorldNet Services Member,
Thank you for contacting the AT&T Internet Investigations and Security Systems Team at [email protected].
A nondelivery report indicates that a mail system has been blocked from sending mail to all att.net addresses. We block systems that have been heavily involved in spam-related activity. The administrator responsible for the offending mail system will need to contact us to resolve the issue. Please contact the administrator of the ISP or sending mail service.
We regret any inconvenience this block has caused. The ever-increasing volumes of spam requires us to be vigilant in our antispam efforts for the benefit of everyone’s e-mail experience.
Regards,
AT&T Internet Investigations and Security Systems Team
Sheesh, first my email to Comcast getting blocked (on two occasions). Now this. Is there something that can be done to avoid these huge time-wasters in the future?
Here’s what their web page says about it:
If you received a Non-Delivery Report (NDR) informing you that your message was not delivered, and it contained the following information: “550 . . . blocked by blocklist for spam-related activity,” this means that your mail was blocked because it was sent by a system that we have reason to think has sent high levels of spam to our customers in the past.
