It would appear that all messages from my email address have been explicitly blacklisted, with a contrite message stating: "Sender address rejected: 550 Thanks, we've had enough spam today." Please would you justify why this ban was introduced, before I escalate the problem.

As a clearer statement, some years ago, Infra decided to blacklist multiple TLDs, including .xyz, as they were entirely spam at the time (due to free/cheap domain sales in the new TLDs).

This private domain was whitelisted. Keeping bug open for a while if further discussion on current TLD blacklists should be revisited.
I'd say we want to eventually drop the domain blacklist completely and switch to some working spam filtering solution. But I'm not a sysadmin, so I can't really tell what kids these days use to filter spam effectively. I can only tell our solution isn't really working the way we would want it to.
I'm also hitting the same blacklist with my .xyz domain.
So the actionable thing here is removing the TLD blacklist.
