Microsoft outlook comcast error 800CCC6F or 554 message sending error:

You get the error

Task 'mail.comcast.net MicrosoftSux - Sending' reported error (0x800CCC6F) : 'Your outgoing (SMTP) e-mail server has reported an internal error. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP). The server responded: 554 OMTA03.westchester.pa.mail.comcast.net comcast Message sending error. Please go to http://help.comcast.net/content/faq/VBOB'

but the site http://help.comcast.net/content/faq/VBOB tells you nothing useful.

Right?

 

Microsoft and Comcast are the two worst companies in the world.

Here's what's happening:

Your ISP (like Comcast, which is one of the two worst companies on the planet, along with Microsoft), limits the amount of emails you can send in a day, and you have exceeded it.  Instead of just telling you that, they tell you on page

When I try to email a Comcast.net address, I get a bounce back message containing a 554 error message, which links to this page.

You have been blocked from emailing the Comcast network because we have determined that your mail server does not properly identify itself when attempting to connect to the Comcast mail servers. This process is known as Reverse DNS and associates your mail server's IP address into a domain name for Comcast to know who is attempting to send email into our network. Individuals who send spam commonly hide their Reverse DNS to avoid being detected when sending email.

How do I get this resolved? Your mail server's IP address is not blocked by Comcast. As soon as your mail administrator properly configures Reverse DNS on your mail server, you will be able to email the Comcast network again. When contacting your email administrator, you should include the error message contained in the email that alerted you to this problem. This error message contains important information to help your email administrator resolve this issue. 

Of course, it's completely misleading. What really happened is that you tried to send too many emails in a day.  Comcast says they limit you to 1000, but they are lying.  It's a much lower number, but they don't tell you what it is.

David Price spent time debugging it, and Comcast finally admitted that VBOB stands for Volume Based Outbound Blocking, so they know they're doing it, they just lie about it.
