Hi @peterfox436 welcome to the community and thanks for posting, I'm sorry to see you're having trouble sending emails. If you log in to webmail at www.bt.com/mail and try to send an email do you get the same error?

Thanks

Neil

I have the same issue! For the last 2 days I've been unable to send any emails from Webmail. Earlier I removed a VPN programme I had, tested mail, it worked, but now it's not working again. I need to send a document this afternoon so please help!

Hi, @CNEW I'm really sorry to see you're having problems sending emails, it sounds like your VPN is still causing problems. Have you ensured your VPN is switched off and tried rebooting your router to see if that helps?

If you enter your IP address on this site and perform a spam check is it listed?

Thanks

Neil

Thanks Neil. I've just checked, and yes, I'm blacklisted!!!! What does that mean? What should I do?

I've completely removed the vpn from my laptop and rebooted.

Thanks and regards,

CNEW

@CNEW It means your IP address has been previously used by spammers and is now on a block list.

Are you connecting to the internet using BT Broadband? Turning off the router for 15 mins can sometimes resolve this as you may be allocated a different IP address.

Thanks

Thanks Neil but I'm in Portugal. Have been for months and never had that issue.

And I've just rebooted my router, to no avail.
