Today, when trying to send an e-mail to a frequently used address, I reeceived the following Alert:

An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: https://www.spamhaus.org/query/ip/86.168.218.24. 

Please check the message recipient "prize.puzzles@telegraph.co.uk" and try again.

I tried sending a test e-mail to a friend and the same 'Alert' message came up. Another friend who knows far more about these things than I do reckoned it might be something to do with Firefox.

Any ideas...?
