I have been very grateful to the Community Team on several occasions , particularly when Virgin blacklisted me in April and it took a huge effort from Beth G and her colleagues to get my main email service restored. That was all done when my registration with this website was craibh.
On Wednesday evening we arrived at a house in Portugal which we visit very often and found that while we could receive emails we could not send any emails from any all our ntl and Virgin email addresses. The internet here is airfibre and very reliable and on our last visit in March, we could receive and send emails as we had done without difficulty for years. I also discovered that I could not log on to the Community website as craibh. As a result I have registered again with another of my Virgin email addresses.
I just do not know what to do. I know that the internet for emails is working because I can send and receive emails using another provider's email address which I have. At the minute, the internet is giving an upload speed of 45 and download speed of 69.I do wonder if this is inability to send emails is some consequence of what Virgin did in April which prevented me from receiving or sending emails on my main account for a number of weeks- which is why I am still plugging my way through several hundred unanswered emails!
I would be extremely grateful if someone can help me?
Many thanks.

Hi Hinshaw,
Thanks for coming back to us about your email issues, I am sorry you're still struggling to figure this out.
It does seem like a complex problem so we don't blame you for reaching out for help!
I can see Ravenstar has already mentioned checking whether your IP is blacklisted. You can check this here 👉 Blacklist Check - It also states how you find out your IP on that page as well.
If you find that your IP had been blacklisted, then you will need to resolve any security issues on your devices. You will also need to perform virus and security scans using your choice of security software, and once you're no longer triggering the spam systems the IP address will be removed from the blacklist.
If you find that your IP is not blacklisted then there are still steps we can take to help in this instance.
Please let us know what you find out.
Thanks,
Meg

Spoke too soon. The problem has returned overnight. What can Virgin be doing? Trying to drive us away, I wonder.

Hi Hinshaw 👋 Thanks for getting back to us.
Sorry to hear the issue returned - just so we are super clear about what's happening, did the issue return whilst you were using the non-VM connection in Portugal? (Lazerspeed)
If you keep us updated after following the advice of my colleague Meg above, and also Ravenstar68's troubleshooting.
Thank you! 🌞
