This is likely not due to Pi-hole blocking anything, but you can use these tools to determine if Pi-hole is blocking any of the domains that are needed to make those email servers work for you:

How do I determine what domain an ad is coming from?

Block ads or fix broken sites This FAQ is written in the context of finding out how to block an ad that isn't blocked automatically, but the same steps can be used to troubleshoot issues with sites that don't function properly. An example is that sometimes certain payment gateways try to collect metrics on the sale, but these domains are blocked by Pi-hole, so the payment cannot be processed. Also, some links send you through several referrers and if one of them is blocked, you may land on a …

You were correct, the issue was unrelated to pi-hole.

Just in case anyone else gets similar issues, these 3 digit codes, like "403 (Forbidden)", are sent by the web server you're trying to connect to. This means that your PC/device/phone/whatever successfully connected to the web server, and it responded with that code. In this case, 403 means "Forbidden", which can happen when a user isn't logged in or doesn't have the privileges to access that page, for example.

The fact that the remote server responded, means that the Pi-hole successfully looked up the IP address for that remote server, as it should, and did not block it, which is why it was "likely not due to Pi-hole".

If it had blocked it, you would typically see a failure to connect at all (e.g. "Can't be reached") error, as Pi-hole most commonly blocks ads by pointing your device at 0.0.0.0 for said advert, which is a non-routeable address.
