I can't imagine why i'd be over limit, my mail server is tiny.

its not the mailserver that got blocked by limits, but the dns resolver
your mailserver uses!

I use my own DNS on Bind 9.12, however the block error is not
appearing today, so...



and does your bind server use other forward servers? Or does it directly
resolve the queries from the authorative nameservers? All depends
whether you resolver is in forward mode or not. If it's in forward
mode then it sounds that the ips of those forwarders might got limited

Another possibility is DNS hijacking. Connection providers pitch it as a security measure, and I guess it can be for residential customers and small businesses that essentially use their connections in the same ways as home users, but it's lethal for mail systems. My provider (WOW Business) does it by default.
