Thanks, so despite the bounce saying it's a problem with the
recipient, it may very well be a problem with our sending IP ?

Just trying to make sense of what the error really means.

is NAT involved at all? 

If the same client manages to send from a different location, I would
assume
that their source IP address changed. 

One likely or at least possible reason for the message is that in the
original 
location, they were sharing the routable address with something noisy
enough that
the rate limiting was triggered. 

Then again it could be that they were themselves the noisy one but
their activity 
at the alternative location had not yet the "classified as too much"
level.
