Issue
Under certain conditions Office365 will refuse to send emails, issuing a bounce reply that looks similar to this message:
Cause
As the email explains, the most common cause is that your account has been sending out too many emails in a short period of time. Unless you have been sending a very large volume of email to hundreds of recipients at a time, it is more likely your account has been compromised.
Resolution
To resolve this issue:
- Immediately change your password using the Password Manager. This is essential to preventing further abuse of your account.
- Forward or paste a copy of your bounce message to the helpdesk via email or a Self Service ticket. So long as we can verify your password was changed, the temporary ban imposed by Microsoft can be lifted.
