Assuming I can get someone who is *willing* to bump it up to tier 2 or 3
support, who *might* be able to do something about it.
And I will do that. However, manitu has been a problem a number of times.

It appears that mail coming from their mailhost's IP was banned.

No. I've been blocked for a period ranging from hours to several days, and
kept getting myself unbanned, a number of times in the last couple of
years. And once or twice, the same time I was having this problem, there
were one or two others who, once they got unbanned, complained of the same
problem.
