Hi, starting from this Monday I am getting the same error message:
"SMTP Response: 525 5.7.13 Authentication Denied (VM303)"

How can I get to someone I can talk for this to be fixed?

VM303 is a specific error code that suggests your account is locked on the VM backend LDAP server.
Can you confirm that you have a current VM broadband account and that the email address concerned is linked to your current account?
If the answer to this is yes then the VM Forum Team should be able to help you when they reach this thread.
If the answer is no then then there is no way to retrieve the email account.

The two errors are related.
You'll need one of the forum team to assist here as the account would appear to have been locked for some reason.
