Though not currently bouncing my maillog had this message (sanitized
because of Google):

 NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from avasout-peh-001.plus.net[212.159.14.17]: 554 5.7.1 
Service unavailable; Client host [212.159.14.17] blocked using

Reading the link provided:

Then ultimately reaching:
https://docs.spamhaus.com/datasets/docs/source/40-real-world-usage/PublicMirrors/MTAs/020-Postfix.html#configuration

The suggested set up is:
smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
    ...
    reject_rbl_client zen.spamhaus.org=127.0.0.[2..11]
    reject_rhsbl_sender dbl.spamhaus.org=127.0.1.[2..99]
    reject_rhsbl_helo dbl.spamhaus.org=127.0.1.[2..99]
    reject_rhsbl_reverse_client dbl.spamhaus.org=127.0.1.[2..99]
    warn_if_reject reject_rbl_client zen.spamhaus.org=127.255.255.[1..255]
    ...

Looking at warn_if_reject on
https://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html
this seems like a bad idea since it won't reject the spam.

Googling "zen.spamhaus.org=127.0.0.[2..11]" indicates a change was made
in 2021 and just follow instructions. No real explanation.

I'm always hesitant to do something I don't fully understand (certs
and regex excluded).
