Any ideas please? I am running under windows 10, both have been stable

It's saying that your mail server is on a blacklist that the recipient
organisation has subscribed to.

No, its saying that a machine on his network is on the blacklist, not
the server (which will be a plusnet machine in this case)

Yes, it's starting to look like there is no outgoing server, and that

There *will* be an outgoing server (since thunderbird does not do its
own MX based routing and does not include its own SMTP server). However
that does not preclude a bit of malware sat on one of your PCs that does
have its own SMTP engine built in, from punting out spam and bypassing
your email setup via plusnet's smtp server.

If that sends spam to a honeypot machine run by one of the spam
blacklist firms, it will get your machines IP address (or more correctly
the IP address allocated to your router by plusnet) onto the spam
blacklist. Once that happens, your real email client will have
difficulty getting messages sent via the official SMTP server - since
that will check the blacklist
