Weird. Fastmail appears to use SpamAssassin, which is tested by
mail-tester.com and other sites and I haven't had any issues from it
before.

Thanks a lot for the reply. I googled "ME_SENDERREP_DENY" and got this
documentation:
https://www.fastmail.help/hc/en-us/articles/360060591413-Spam-filtering

It states that this score is given based on past interaction with the
sender (I assume that refers to me). Not sure why this would causing
issues, any ideas? Does it just dislike new email addresses from unknown
domains? Also, so far I can't figure out the ME_VADESPAM_MED_NB means.
