Emails not sending due to "MTA"Poor reputation and "ERS-RBL"

Hi guys,
We are having problems sending emails to some domains. I've checked our public ip against spammer blacklists and it doesn't appear. We have regular virus scans on all systems which haven't detected anything. I suspect this problem is being encountered because we send out a weekly group of bulk emails to let our customers know what we have available- a lot of the recipients have to get them out of their spam folders to make an order and now we are seeing quite a few bounce back altogether. My 1st thought was to change our public IP address anyway, as there it must be blocked somewhere that I've not found,  and then( as I understand) there is a way to change outlook settings so when bulk emails are sent they don't all send at once ie so we don't just get blocked again
Before I do that, I wanted to check if that might create other problems I hadn't considered, or indeed if there are some other things I should try first?
FYI our ip address is static and shared by 4 different computers on our network
thanks,

p.s I did look up similar questions but I didn't find one exactly the same as ours - apologies in advance if there is one the same you've already answered

Did you properly check your IP address ? MX toolbox does not consult TrendMicro, which I assume your ERS warning comes from. So please check it seperately here: https://ers.trendmicro.com/
Not only will it show you if you are listed (how/why/when), there's a delisting option, and since you are in control of that network, you should be the one to delist anyway.

Hi Kimputer,

I have just checked against that link, (thanks) but we are not listed there either
In that case, I need all the details you can provide from the original error bounce messages you got.
here are the details as follows-
(I've xxx out the ip addresses of our customers for their privacy but have left ours in, if you could delete the comment once you have our ip details that would be great)
One thing I noticed is the IP address supposedly blocked in the 1st message below  ( 27.50.86.100 )is not our public address, it is but I've checked that with Mx toolbox and it is clear too
our public ip address is 59.100.5.18 (also not listed)

Was good to have different server IP's explained for our spam blocking issue.
