We have been having the same issue. Was advised to change the password. This has achieved nothing. we still get this when trying to sond.

An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: 535 5.7.8 [TPG-A02] Authentication denied. User akswhite@tpg.com.au is banned from using SMTP AUTH due to previous abuse. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again.

And if we log in tvia the web site, it tells us that the email address we have entered is wrong. even if we hit Reply !!!

This is getting out of hand.

TPG - PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE ASAP

Gday,

I've followed your suggestion, thanks. My wife's account, dheuvel@tpg.com.au, has this problem. I changed the password a few days ago, and no change. Can you please lift the ban on her account.

I've checked her login using MalwareBytes (and it's already under guardianship of Eset antivirus) and her account is clean.

Is it possible this occurred because she downloaded a lot of accumulated email (about 3,500 items)  in one hit? She normally reads on her ipad, but downloads onto the main computer only occasionally.

Regards and thanks,

Pat Heuvel

Hi Shane my emails have not worked for some days now, I receive a report each time I send that my email addresses are being marked as spam by the TPG server.

I have reported this issue for 2 days through tech support.

Both the email addresses I have PM'd to yourself previously are still affected. I have used these addresses for many years and I pay yearly to keep these addresses for some reason which I cannot get to the bottom of. This is another email issue which will need to be addressed later since I just need to have emails working at this time.

Another email address I have is working properly as far as I can see but a fourth is unable to be accessed by me due to some identity error at TPG.

This is despite calls and texts back from TPG over the days that the postmaster will look at the spam/not sending issue. The problem still remains.

I have just tested again.

I have changed passwords as instructed but it is now getting very frustrating, especially since I am testing via TPG Postoffice, as well as my Outlook software to ensure that the problem is not due to my PC.

I've been having this problem as well. I've had my son in law over to try to fix (he reset the password as suggested ) and support has yet to call us back for 3 days now. I'm elderly and frustrated. Please reset my email xxxxx@tpg.com.au

Hi @koulamou,

 

Thanks for raising this to us. We're sad to know that you're having issue sending email, this has been raised to our Postmaster for further handling and investigation. We'll provide you an update when it becomes available.
