Caroline's solution worked. Thank you.
1st stop using smart relay to send out mails since your blacklisted
use direct dns by changing from mail.safaricombusiness.co.ke to may
be 41.203.208.18 or 19
thereafter use the below link to request for white-listing
http://multirbl.valli.org/lookup/
http://www.mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx
after which if you are clean you can ask ISP provider to allow you to
use their smart host.
But clean your LAN and removed saved email password from the computers.
