Note, the warning at the bottom of the page here: Given that I already have MFA enabled and I’m happy that my password has not been compromised, I select the Unblock user button at the bottom of the page. I’m take through a wizard as shown above, giving me the reason why I have been restricted and some recommendations. I could go in there and select the Unblock link to the right of my login. Damm!Īs it turns out, because I had contravened that outbound spam policy I’d ended up as a ‘Restricted user’, as shown above. Surely, that’ll fix my problem, right? After retrying 5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc up to 1 hour after the change, I still had the same issue. Initially, I thought that I’d just go in and change the policy and bump up the threshold plus set the action to alert only. So that’s the why, now the how to fix it so I could again send emails? We’ll guess what? The email I just tried to send crossed that threshold and now I was blocked as a user. I had, of course, gone for a very low setting because ‘I never send more than 90 email per hour’ to external recipients. One of my primary recommendations with outbound spam filtering is to limit the amount of emails that a user can send per hour and then block them once they reach this threshold. What the hell is going on here I thought? I’ve done this before, what’s wrong?Īs always, the issue has to do with the email security settings I have. The most common reason for this is that your email address is suspected of sending spam and it’s no longer allowed to send email. Your message couldn’t be delivered because you weren’t recognized as a valid sender. Not longer after, I get a failed delivery to all those addresses as you can see above. So, I composed the email, Bcc’d people and pressed Send as I always do. I needed to get some event registration and Microsoft Teams meeting details out to around 100+ users recently.
