This guide explains why you may receive an automatic security email regarding your Infomaniak account (i.e., your user account).

 

Introduction

  • Warning: fake messages are circulating and imitate Infomaniak's security email.
  • If you are unsure about the authenticity of the warning, access the Infomaniak Manager and check the recent activity instead of clicking on any potentially malicious link that may be present in the fake message.

 

Automated security alerts

 

1. Login from a new location

A security email is automatically sent when a new connection to your Infomaniak account occurs from a new location:

This can happen, for example, if you are using your browser's private browsing mode or if you are accessing your account from a new computer.

If you receive this email immediately after logging into your Infomaniak account, you can safely ignore the login alert!

 

2. Login attempt (incorrect password)

A security email is automatically sent when someone enters an incorrect password after entering the email address to log in to the Manager:

 

View recent activity in the Manager

You can view the recent activities of your account and those of your Infomaniak Organization:

If you notice any illegitimate actions that you don't believe you performed, and/or if you suspect an intrusion:

  1. Refer to this other guide to quickly secure your tools.
  2. Enable two-factor authentication on your account to improve its protection and ensure that only you receive a unique code authorizing login.
  3. Change the Manager password.
  4. Change the passwords for the email addresses associated with Mail Infomaniak.

This guide explains how to centralize the display of your various Infomaniak email addresses when you have multiple accounts and email services.

 

Display email addresses from all your Organizations

One approach is to display the global Mail web app for all Organizations to which your Infomaniak account is linked:

  1. Click here to access the Infomaniak Mail web app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/mail).
  2. Then, click on the chevron to the right of the displayed email address.
    • The other addresses of the Organization for which you have permission will be displayed.
  3. If you have access rights to other existing addresses on other Organizations that your user has access to, click on the chevron to the right of the active Organization:
  4. You can click on another Organization (my kSuite, for example) to display only that specific email address…
  5. Or, you can click on All Organizations to display all email addresses in the interface:
  6. The shortcut for this common view is https://ksuite.infomaniak.com/all/mail:

This guide explains how to temporarily postpone an email until a specific date/time, using the Infomaniak Mail web app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/mail).

 

Introduction

  • You can also put emails on hold using the Infomaniak Mail mobile app (application for iOS/Android smartphones or tablets).
  • You can put a maximum total of 1000 conversations from the inbox on hold, for a maximum of 1 year (this hold can be stopped or its duration modified at any time).
  • kSuite Free / my kSuite / Mail Service Starter do not allow customization of the schedule when setting up an out-of-office reply.

 

How it works

When you put a conversation on hold (using the snooze or remind function):

  1. The conversation is moved to a "On Hold" folder, which is visible in the Mail app and displays the number of conversations on hold.
  2. If a new message arrives in a muted conversation, the muting will be automatically canceled, and the conversation will be visible in the inbox.
  3. When the deadline arrives:
    • The conversation automatically returns to the inbox, in the first position, with a special notification.
    • The message, until it is read, will display an indication "On hold since X" (X being the date on which the message returned to the inbox).

On a software/email client such as Outlook using IMAP:

  1. When put on hold, the conversation will remain in its initial position.
  2. If you manually move a message that has been put on hold, the feature will no longer be active for that message in the web app.
  3. When the due date arrives, the conversation will move to the top position, just like in the web app, and a standard "new message" notification will be displayed.

  • a reformulation of a text excerpt,
  • grammatically correct syntax,
  • etc.

You can also summarize the content of any email.

To access the writing assistant:

  1. Click here to access the Infomaniak Mail web app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/mail).
  2. Log in with your Infomaniak account credentials (not your email address password).
  3. If necessary, associate the email addresses to be managed with Mail Infomaniak.

 

Using Euria when composing a new message

You can ask Euria to write a text based on your ideas, which you will need to provide to it:

  1. Click on New message at the top left of the Mail interface.
  2. Click on the Euria icon in the editing bar to open the wizard:
  3. Tell the assistant what you want to write, as if you were talking to a human.
  4. Once the AI displays a suggestion, adjust the length and change the tone if necessary to get a more familiar response.
  5. Insert the suggestion into your message or copy the text to the clipboard.

 

Using Euria while writing the message

You can also use the writing assistant by selecting a passage from your text and then choosing the desired option from the context menu that appears:

  • Open the assistant to request suggestions.
  • Correct the grammar.
  • Rephrase the sentence to obtain a new one.
  • Shorten the suggested text by removing some unnecessary elements.
  • Write more text, expand the conversation.

 

Suggest a response with Euria while reading an email

You can launch Euria while viewing a received message to which you want to respond quickly:

  1. Select the text you want to use as the basis for the answer with your mouse.
  2. Choose to respond with Euria from the context menu that appears.
  3. Tell the assistant what you want it to respond with, as if you were having a conversation with a human.
  4. Insert the text that will appear in the automatically generated reply message:
  5. All you have to do is review it and send it.

This guide will help you troubleshoot the issue if you receive a message after sending an email indicating that it was rejected due to "Spam Message Rejected" or "5.7.0 AV: Message is rejected by headers rule filter.. 554 Please check the message and try again" ...

 

Important checks to perform

Make sure your email does not contain:

  • words or phrases that are often associated with spam, as it could be identified as unwanted and rejected
  • any unusual information in the signature, a link that is incorrectly formatted (http//.domain.xyz for example), etc.
  • an attachment with one of these prohibited extensions: .exe, .com, .cmd, .cpl, .hta, .scf, .sct, .lnk, .bat, .js, .jse, .wsh, .ws, .wsf, .wsc, .vbe, .vb, .vbs, .shs, .pif, .scr ... including inside a compressed file (.zip for example)

To send a file (js or exe for example) and confirm that it does not contain viruses, store it in your hosting space and link to it (if the file is large and you are sending it from the Infomaniak Mail web app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/mail), it will be placed on a temporary server to allow your recipient to receive a download link) or via Swisstransfer.com.

 

Also, check your SPF record. If your domain does not have an SPF record or if this record is incorrect, your message will most likely be rejected.

If you believe you are receiving a "Spam Message Rejected" message without reason, contact Infomaniak support.

This guide explains how to transfer to Infomaniak email addresses currently hosted by Microsoft, within Microsoft 365, using an IMAP import tool.

 

Introduction

  • This operation does not affect data already present in the destination address or the source address.
  • The entire external mailbox will be imported.
  • Once the import process has started, it is no longer possible to interrupt it.
  • Any duplicates will be managed: identical content will only be copied once.
  • Please refer to this other guide if you are looking for alternatives to this IMAP process.

 

Import your entire email history

 

1. Microsoft Prerequisites

  • Enable POP/IMAP/SMTP features that are disabled by default (need help?).

 

2. Infomaniak Prerequisites

 

3. Import email content from Microsoft to Infomaniak

  1. Click here to access the import tool (online service https://import-email.infomaniak.com).
  2. If necessary, log in to your Infomaniak account for the relevant organization, as the import will be done to one of the email addresses linked to the Infomaniak Mail web interface (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/mail) of the Infomaniak account you are using.
  3. Click on the import via IMAP.
  4. Click on the one-time import.
  5. Fill in the field on the left with your source email address (whose content you want to copy).

This guide explains why some attachments sent from Microsoft Outlook arrive in winmail.dat format on your email address hosted by Infomaniak, and how to permanently resolve the problem on the sender's side (where it is created).

 

Introduction

  • winmail.dat is the container used by Outlook/Exchange when a message is sent in RTF/TNEF format.
    • It encapsulates the formatting and attachments.
  • Many non-Microsoft software/email clients cannot interpret TNEF:
    • the formatting disappears and the attachments become a single winmail.dat file.

 

Important: the generation of a winmail.dat file does not depend on Infomaniak; the problem originates with the sender (Outlook/Exchange) and must be corrected on their computer or by their Microsoft 365 administrator.

 

Resolving the problem (actions to request from the sender)

The most effective solution is to have the sender change the Outlook configuration.

 

Disable RTF/TNEF and resend the message in HTML or plain text

  • “Classic” Outlook for Windows (Microsoft 365/2021/2019, Win32 application)
    Menu: File > Options > Mail
    Compose messages: Compose messages in this format: choose HTML (or Plain Text).
    Message format: in When sending messages in Rich Text format to Internet recipients, select Convert to HTML (or Convert to plain text).
    On a case-by-case basis (for a single email): in the message window, Format Text tab > choose HTML.

 

  • New Outlook for Windows (application based on Outlook on the web)
    Menu: Settings (gear icon) > Mail > Compose and reply
    Message format: Compose messages in: choose HTML (or Plain text).
    This client does not offer an RTF option; sending in HTML/text avoids winmail.dat.

 

  • Outlook on the web (Exchange Online/Outlook.com)
    Menu: Settings > Mail > Compose and reply > Message format > choose HTML (or Plain text).

 

  • Outlook for Mac
    Menu: Outlook > Preferences > Compose > check/uncheck Compose messages in HTML by default.
    For a single message: in the compose window, Options tab > toggle HTML or Plain text.

 

Note: if the sender has attached files, they will be readable by all recipients as long as the message is sent in HTML/text. Zipping the attachments (.zip) does not prevent Outlook from encapsulating the message if RTF/TNEF is still active.

 

Disable RTF for specific recipients (e.g., yourself)

  • “Classic” Outlook for Windows: open the Contact card > double-click the email address > Outlook Properties > Internet Format: select Send as plain text only (or Let Outlook decide if the administrator is already forcing the conversion).

 

  • Clear autocomplete (it may “remember” RTF for a recipient): File > Options > Mail > Send messages > Clear the Auto-Complete List, then retype the address manually the next time you send a message.

 

  • Microsoft 365 administrators (at the sender's end): in the Exchange Admin Center: Mail flow > Remote domains > Default > Rich text format: choose Never. In PowerShell: Set-RemoteDomain Default -TNEFEnabled $false.

 

Alternatively: use a different email client for sending (e.g., Thunderbird), or check that Calendar invitations are sent in iCalendar format (File > Options > Calendar > enable Use iCalendar format for external recipients).

 

If you do not want to contact the sender again

You can extract the content of winmail.dat using TNEF decoding tools (online or desktop applications). Search for “open winmail.dat” and choose a reputable tool for your system (Windows, macOS, Linux). This usually restores the attachments, but it is not a permanent solution. Furthermore, confidentiality and security are in no way guaranteed during these operations.

This guide explains which protocols and ports can be used with Infomaniak's messaging services (Service Mail in particular).

 

Recommended ports and parameters for client configuration

When prompted during a software/messaging client configuration (Outlook, Thunderbird, mobile, etc.), prioritize the following parameters:

 IMAPs - Incoming Traffic (Recommended)SMTP - Outgoing Traffic (Option 1: IETF standard)SMTPs - Outgoing Traffic (Option 2: Implicit encryption)
Ports993587465
Security MechanismSSL / TLS (implicit)STARTTLS (explicit)SSL / TLS (implicit)
Server Namemail.infomaniak.com
AuthenticationRequired (username = full email address)

Technical note: Port 587 with STARTTLS is the IETF standard practice for secure email submission. Port 465 is a secure alternative using implicit encryption.

If you specify other indications or disable encryption, email errors may occur.

 

Other supported ports (unencrypted or backward compatibility)

  • port 143 (Standard port for IMAP reception - unencrypted, use 993)
  • port 110 (Standard port for POP3 reception - unencrypted, use 995)
  • port 995 (Secure port for POP3s reception - secure POP3 option)
  • port 25 (Standard port for server-to-server transfer - may support STARTTLS for submission, but 587 is the standard for clients).
  • STARTTLS authentication is supported on unencrypted ports (143, 110, 25) to enable TLS encryption.
  • SMTP authentication supported (LOGIN or PLAIN methods).

 

API Usage and Transfer Security

The Infomaniak API does not provide any connection to the mailbox as IMAP and SMTP are the "APIs". Use a library (such as Python: email.examples and imaplib) that uses IMAP and SMTP.

To display emails from PHP:
imap_open("{mail.infomaniak.com:993/imap/ssl}", $email, $password);

The MTA-STS mechanism is not implemented or verified, as Infomaniak uses DANE (DNS-based Authentication of Named Entities) to ensure an encrypted connection between servers when the following conditions are met:

  • The client sends an email to a domain that has configured DANE.
  • The client receives an email from an SMTP server that uses DANE.
  • In all other cases (in the absence of DANE), the encrypted connection remains opportunistic.

This guide explains how to connect the Microsoft Outlook mobile app (application for smartphone or tablet iOS / Android) to an email address hosted by Infomaniak.

 

Introduction

  • Instead of the manual configuration below, it is recommended to use the Infomaniak Mail app (iOS / Android) to benefit from Infomaniak's security features.
  • The Microsoft application is configured by default to analyze your data:

 

Add the email address to the application

 

Prerequisites

 

To configure the email application:

  1. Open the application.
  2. Click on Add account:
  3. Enter the email address to associate.
  4. Click on Continue:
  5. Click on IMAP:
  6. Activate the toggle switch to enable advanced settings.
  7. Complete the missing information.
  8. Click on the icon in the top right corner.
  9. If necessary, choose to add an additional account, otherwise click Later.
  10. That's it, your email address is now configured in the application:

 

Recommended settings

  • Incoming IMAP server = mail.infomaniak.com
  • IMAP port = 993 (with SSL)
  • Outgoing SMTP server = mail.infomaniak.com
  • SMTP port & encryption protocol and command/method to activate this protocol: 587 + STARTTLS
  • Username = the complete email address & (?)
  • Password = the password generated for the email address you want to access (❓: my kSuite | Mail Service/kSuite).
  • Mandatory authentication for sending emails:
    • Enable it in the SMTP settings of your application.
    • Check "use the same settings as the incoming server" or, depending on the software/email client, enter a username (the complete email address) and the generated password.

Refer to this other guide if you are looking for information about other email ports and protocols that are supported (SSL/TLS, for example).

 

In case of a problem

Check that the Mail service is configured optimally.

It is not necessary to contact Infomaniak Support if your email address works correctly outside the application. The most common error concerns the use of an incorrect password. The troubleshooting guides will help you resolve any potential issues:

… and if your Outlook is no longer working after a change of email password, please refer to this other guide.

This guide details the security measures implemented as part of Infomaniak's email services to detect abusive and abnormal use of an email address. These measures protect you from malicious use of your computer or account.

 

Number of recipients per email sent

Regardless of the email plan you choose, whether free or paid, the total number of recipients listed on an email is limited to 100.

This restriction applies regardless of the field used to enter the email addresses of the recipients (To, CC, or BCC).

For sending emails to a large number of recipients, it is strongly recommended to use a Newsletter tool such as the one offered by Infomaniak.

 

Other email limits

This guide details how to disable the SMTP protocol, thereby preventing a specific user from sending emails from a specific email address.

 

Preamble

  • Removing the sending right from a user will prevent them from sending a message (new, reply, reaction, etc.) from the Infomaniak Web Mail app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/mail) and the mobile app.
  • If the user in question is also specified in the connected devices, sending will also be impossible from a software/email client like Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, etc.
  • There is a specific permission regarding out-of-office messages if you also want to prevent this type of message from being sent.

 

Prevent a user from sending messages from a specific email address

New user

Do you want to allow a new collaborator to access an email address (be able to read incoming emails) but without allowing them to send new messages?

  1. Click here to access the management of your Mail Service on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
  2. Click directly on the name assigned to the Mail Service concerned:
  3. Click on the email address concerned in the table that appears:
  4. Click to Add a new user:
  5. In this example, the collaborator is external, so click to Create an invitation link.
  6. Click to manage the permissions of this user on the email address concerned:
  7. Click on Send emails to remove their sending rights.
  8. Save the change:
  9. Click on Add to complete the invitation:
  10. Enter an email address to which to send the invitation.
  11. Click on Send:

The invited user accepts the invitation: they thus access the email address and its messages, but the button to compose a new message will remain grayed out with no possibility for them to draft a message (or even reply, react, etc. as these buttons will also be grayed out/deactivated):

 

Prevent sending to an existing user

Do you want to allow collaborators to continue to access an email address (be able to read incoming emails) but without allowing them to send new messages?

  1. Click here to access the management of your Mail Service on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
  2. Click directly on the name assigned to the Mail Service concerned:
  3. Click on the email address concerned in the table that appears:
  4. Click on Send emails to remove the send permission:

The user will access the email address and its messages, but the button to compose a new message will remain grayed out with no possibility for them to draft a message (or even reply, react, etc. as these buttons will also be grayed out/deactivated):

 

Prevent sending from an SMTP email client/software

If you want to prevent the user from sending emails from an email client/software or any fixed and mobile device containing an SMTP email app, start by following the steps above.

You will then need to create a password (= "connected device") linked to this user (so at point 8 of this other guide instead of “Without user” you will need to specify the identifier of the collaborator concerned, already added in the users tab):

Thus, their email client/software can be configured to receive emails but will not allow any sending, causing a continuous error (password request) if the user insists on sending an email:

This guide explains how to copy the content of one or more external email addresses (all email messages, folders, subfolders, in short, the entire structure of your existing email account with other providers) to one or more of your existing addresses at Infomaniak, thanks to the Infomaniak import tool!

 

Introduction

  • It is easy to migrate your entire email tree to Infomaniak – discover the offers.
  • This operation does not affect the data already present in the destination address, nor the data in the source address.
  • The entire external mailbox will be imported as a copy.
  • Once the import process has started, it is no longer possible to interrupt it.
  • Any potential duplicates are handled: identical content will only be copied once.

 

Start copying to an Infomaniak email address

Several options are available for importing emails:

  1. Do you want to copy emails already present in Infomaniak (e.g., @ik.me) to another mailbox also hosted by Infomaniak?
  2. You have a file/archive in MBOX format and want to import it directly into an existing address on Infomaniak?
    • Refer to this other guide to import the content of the .mbox file and thus import your emails, regardless of their origin, into Infomaniak.
    • This is ideal for easily transferring content from Google, as an MBOX file can be easily obtained via Google Takeout.
  3. If you were unable to obtain an MBOX file of your emails, you can copy emails from an external provider using the IMAP import tool; click on the link corresponding to the email provider you want to import:

This guide helps you identify and correct most email errors encountered after sending an email to a recipient. Refer to this other guide if you are looking for information about errors obtained when configuring a mail address in a software/email client.

 

Preamble

  • Generally, a mail error message follows…
    • … an incorrect configuration of the domain name used with your mail,
    • … a problem with (the mail provider of) your recipient.
  • In all cases, a delivery failure report (Mailer Daemon or Mail Delivery Subsystem) containing the explanation is sent to the sender.

 

Finding and identifying the mail error

When your message does not reach your recipient, an initial failure report (Temporary Delivery Failure Report) is sent and specifies that the server will attempt to resend your message several times.

A final delivery failure report (Final Delivery Failure Report or Undeliverable Mail) issued by the recipient's server is sent to the sender (via a pass through the Infomaniak mail server, hence the mention of Infomaniak at the beginning of most error messages you may receive) to inform them that the email could not be delivered even after several attempts.

The notification always contains the reason for the failure. Example below:

This is the mail system at host smtp-1-1234.mail.infomaniak.ch.
I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.
For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster.
If you do so, please include this problem report. You can delete your own text from the attached returned message.
The mail system anna.a@abc.xyz: host mxbw-abc-xyz.abc-ab12.abc.ch[123.456.789.00] said: 550 5.1.1
anna.a@abc.xyz recipient rejected, account administratively disabled (in reply to RCPT TO command) 

So here the address of your correspondent is visibly suspended by their mail provider (account administratively disabled).

Sometimes you need to look for the reason for the error message received among its attachments (often a raw text file). Example:

Reporting-MTA: dns; mxbw.abc.ch‍ [123.456.789.00]
Received-From-MTA: dns; smtp-1-1234.mail.infomaniak.ch [12.345.678.99]
Arrival-Date: Tue, 01 Aug 2023 15:49:22 +0200
Final-recipient: rfc822; anna.a@abc.xyz
Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 552 RCPT TO:anna.a@abc.xyz‍ Mailbox disk quota exceeded
Last-attempt-Date: Tue, 01 Aug 2023 15:49:22 +0200

Here the mailbox of your correspondent external to Infomaniak seems full (Mailbox disk quota exceeded).

 

Most common cases

 

SPF Failure

The SPF (Sender Policy Framework) record is not correctly configured:

Subject: Delivery Status Notification (Failure)
From: Mail Delivery System mailer-daemon@domain.xyz
To: Anna.A anna.a@abc.xyz
This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.
Delivery to the following recipient failed due to SPF failure:
anna.a@abc.xyz
Technical details of SPF failure:
The sender's domain domain.xyz does not have a valid SPF record. Please contact your email administrator to correct the SPF configuration.

Solution: check the configuration of your domain name and especially the SPF type record if your website is hosted on Wix or another provider.

 

User Unknown

The email address specified in the message is invalid or does not exist:

Subject: Delivery Status Notification (Failure)
From: Mail Delivery System mailer-daemon@domain.xyz
To: Anna.A anna.a@abc.xyz
This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.
Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:
anna.a@abc.xyz
Technical details of permanent failure:
The email address does not exist. Please check the recipient's email address and try again.

Solution: carefully check the recipient's email address and correct it if necessary; ensure you are using a valid email address for the recipient.

 

Temporary Failure

Le serveur de messagerie du destinataire rencontre des problèmes temporaires ou est indisponible.

Solution: wait for a certain amount of time, then try sending the message again later. If the problem persists, contact the recipient's technical support for assistance.

 

Blocked by SPAM Filter (or Content Rejected)

The recipient's mail server has blocked the message due to anti-spam filtering rules:

Subject: Delivery Status Notification (Failure)
From: Mail Delivery System mailer-daemon@domain.xyz
To: Anna.A anna.a@domain.xyz
This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.
Delivery to the following recipient failed due to the message being rejected as spam:
anna.a@domain.xyz
Technical details of delivery failure:
The content of the message triggered the spam filters of the recipient's email server. Please review the message content and try again.

Solution: check if your message contains elements that may be considered spam (keywords, suspicious links, etc.). Contact the recipient to verify if the message was filtered into the spam folder.

Refer to this other guide regarding outgoing spam and this other guide regarding incoming spam.

 

Bad Reputation

The recipient's mail server has blocked the message due to anti-spam filtering rules:

gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com said: 550-5.7.1
Our system has detected that this message is likely suspicious due to the very low reputation of the sending domain.
To best protect our users from spam, the message has been blocked.
Please visit https://support.google.com/mail/answer/188131 for more information.

Solution: check the reputation of the domain, determine if there has been a recent unintentional misuse of one of your email addresses for malicious purposes, for example.

 

Domain Not Found (or DNS Error)

Le nom de domaine du destinataire n'a pas pu être résolu ou n'existe pas.

Solution: check the spelling of the recipient's domain and correct it if necessary; ensure that the domain name and DNS are valid and active.

 

Mailbox Full

La boîte de réception du destinataire est pleine, empêchant la réception de nouveaux messages.

Solution: inform the recipient of the situation and ask them to free up space by deleting emails or archiving items.

This cannot happen with email addresses managed by Infomaniak since they do not have storage size limits.

 

Part of their network is on our block list

If the error message (obtained in principle following a send operation performed from an online tool, placed on the server where your website is located, for example a Prestashop order confirmation or another online store you manage) contains this:

host hotmail-com.olc.protection.outlook.com[104.47.30.97] said: 550 5.7.1
Unfortunately, messages from [89.123.456.789] weren't sent. Please contact your Internet service provider since part of their network is on our block list.

Solution: change the email sending method. The sending is unauthenticated and originates from the server with a specific IP address that is apparently blocked by the recipient for some reason (Infomaniak does not intervene to request unblocking). Therefore, you need to configure the online tool to perform authenticated sends.

 

Less Frequent Errors

 

Deferred - Delayed

The error message Deferred - Delayed - Warning: message still undelivered after 4 hours, Will keep trying until message is 3 days old means that the Infomaniak mail server attempted to connect to your correspondent's mail server to send the message but was unsuccessful for an undetermined reason. This error message indicates that the Infomaniak server will continue attempting to send your message during the period specified in the error message. If, after this time, the message has still not been delivered, you will receive a final error message informing you that your message could not be delivered and that your correspondent did not receive it.

 

Greylisting Delay

This Greylisting Delay error occurs when the recipient's mail server, like Infomaniak, uses a technique called "greylisting" which imposes a temporary delay on the first attempt to deliver a message from an unknown sender. The Mailer Daemon may eventually send an error report indicating that delivery has been delayed due to greylisting. The error may also mention banned sender. You should try sending your message again a few minutes/hours later.

 

Malware message rejected

This Malware message rejected error occurs when the message contains an attachment, a link to a storage site like Dropbox, or dynamic content, including in the "forwarded" part of the message (in the case of a message "forward", for example). You should try resending the message from the Infomaniak Mail Web app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/mail) instead of a mail application, and remove any content that may cause this error.

 

Message Size Exceeded / File Too Large

These Message Size Exceeded / File Too Large errors occur when the size of the message (or attachments) exceeds the limit allowed by the recipient's mail server. The Mailer Daemon will return an error report indicating that delivery failed due to the message size being exceeded.

 

Rate Limit Exceeded

This Rate Limit Exceeded error occurs when the sender has exceeded the frequency or volume limit allowed by the recipient's mail server. Mail servers may impose limits to prevent spam or system overload.

 

Sender denied: auth guards failed

Refer to this other guide if you encounter an error Sender denied: auth guards failed.

 

The message contains a unicode character in a disallowed header

This The message contains a unicode character in a disallowed header error may appear if you have inserted a special character like a heart ♥ for example in the body of the email, the subject, or especially in the full name; the risk of being rejected by providers is very high: it is best to keep the use of signs, characters, and fonts as simple as possible.
