Emails returned as undeliverable

Hi,
This is a brand new problem that began on 7 Feb.

I have now had 3 emails bounce back as 'undeliverable'. As this is a business email address it is very concerning.

I had been back and forward to the email addresses prior to 7 Feb with no problem.

Addresses included @outlook.com @live.com.au and @iinet.net.au

I know there were TPG problems a few months ago similar to this with regards to Gmail addresses.

Is TPG aware of this issue and looking into it?

Thank you

Hi @TimmPaccc, I’ve just reported a similar problem here:
https://community.tpg.com.au/t5/TPG-Community-Feedback/Are-TPG-Email-Servers-Rejecting-Connections-f...

Out of curiosity, do you have details of the reason for the emails being undeliverable that the senders would have received in the return/bounce email? Knowing the reason might help TPG identify the cause of the problem.

Further I've began trying to further trouble shoot (I have 4 x tpg.com.au addresses) and it appears to just be the one account I am having problems with Smiley Sad

Looks like that TPG server has ended up on some Blacklists:

Oh?
So sorry and thank you so much for your help. Really appreciate it.

Is that something I can change or fix or is that a TPG issue?

That address is listed on my website, could that be causing an issue?

Again. Thank you so much for any advice you could give.

Hi @TimmPaccc . Send an email to postmaster@tpg.com.au detailing your problem. Include the bounce error messages and the link relating to the blacklists.

Thank you.
Have done and waiting....

Still not sure if the 'blacklist' problem is my end or the receivers end?

I have zero understanding of blacklisting.

@TimmPaccc, the blacklisting is a TPG issue, their email server(s) have ended up on a reputation/blacklist possibly because they were misconfigured and allowed relaying at one point in time or TPG users have been using them to send Spam.

Thank you so much for your reply. Have been reading/educating myself about this all morning.

Seems the best fix in the short term is to send emails via the 'TPG Post Office' and check my SMTP Authentification setting on my devices?

Oh, and wait for a call back/email from TPG....
