So, I was just trying to send out regular emails last Saturday and I start getting these fails lining up in my outbox...then a pop-up:
"Error occurred on email server - 554 Transaction Failed: Cannot send message due to possible abuse..."

Well, apparently my Foscam, which is set up to send a motion alert email, (includes 3 pic snapshots in each), totally freaked out and started sending them several times a minute to\from myself into my "IPCAM" yahoo sub folder, which is buried way down the scroll list on my phone so I did not notice...for several days.

Apparently they decided to take action after it crossed 20,000 sends!


DOH! :stupid::stupid::stupid:

I was never able to get a response from them online or on their forums, but luckily they have let me out of the corner today and email works again.

...Going to keep that alert setting turned off for a while.

Is the Foscam working now or still trying to send alerts?
