Once again BT is censoring emails. This is still a country of free speech. I can write to my consenting adult friend anything I dam well want. it is NOT your job to censor. What is wrong with you???

Please highlight this to someone that can correct whatever AI you are using to tell them it's rubbish, far too much, 'A' and not enough 'I'...

Yes we are a country of free speech but not one free of consequences. I suspect this is a consequence of you violating BTs terms of use (although I do not know what they are in regards to this)

There are many free mail providers out there for you to use should you eish

I have terms of use too. I pay BT £90/year to send/receive my emails.

It's none of their dam business what is in them. I'm not a scammer, I don't do phishing, I don't send out 1000s of simultaneous emails, I send a single email to a single known contact I have known for years. Which BT will know as they have a record of our respective addresses we have used for decades.

Stop 'reading' my emails, and just send them....

Despite much 'googling', I can find no reference to 'BT content policy' (plenty on usage policy!). So have no idea what they think I have done. Maybe someone can provide a link to such so I can investigate ...

Hi - I can’t provide a link but I can confirm that, regularly, if I receive an email with something like “invoice” in the header, and try to forward a copy to my wife (for her info), then BT email will bounce it (from my end, not hers).

I guess this is supposed to be some sort of automated check that I’m not using this personal account for business purposes - but it’s not very intelligent and can be quite irritating. Fortunately this is not an everyday occurence.

There may well be similar use cases that trigger the same response….
