How to unblock my email address so I can send email in MS365 outlook.

I sent an email to just over 200 recepients and it failed to send and now blocks all my sent emails. I can receive but not send. Other people on the same domain are not affected and can send and receive email. What did I do wrong and how do I correct it?

Thanks!!!!!

Hi @Leonard Bliss

Welcome to our forum!

Based on your description, it looks like you've sent emails to a large number of recipients. It is likely that it was automatically blocked by being identified as spam.

Are there any error messages? Try sending emails to only a small number of users at once to check if there are any discrepancies.

To unblock you, you'll need to contact your recipient to add you to your safe list.

Hi @Leonard Bliss

It looks like the email address was flagged as a risk sender, which caused the email to be rejected. This typically happens when the email server suspects that the address was used to send spam.

Here's what you can do:

Contact your email administrator: The administrator can check the email server's reputation and settings to find out why the address was flagged.

Check email content: Sometimes, emails can be flagged if they contain certain keywords or patterns typical of spam. Review your email content to ensure it doesn't trigger spam filters.

Authentication: Make sure that your email system is properly authenticated with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC settings. These protocols help ensure that your emails are legitimate and not spoofed.
