FAQ
TL;DR: 74 % of web-mail blocks are caused by stolen or weak passwords (Verizon, 2023). “Always change the password first” – "Tommy82" [Elektroda, 18321440]. WP.pl halts sending when its 300-mail/24 h cap is broken or spam is detected. Why it matters: a quick reset and malware scan usually restores service without deleting the account.
Quick Facts
• WP.pl SMTP cap: Approx. 300 mails or 500 recipients per 24 h [“WP Pomoc – Limity”, 2023].
• Temporary block: 24–48 h; repeated abuse → permanent ban [WP Pomoc, 2023].
• Recommended password: ≥12 mixed-case characters [NIST, 2022].
• 74 % of account lockouts tied to credential theft [Verizon, 2023].
• Full antivirus scan on 256 GB SSD: 15–30 min typical [AV-Test, 2023].
Why did WP.pl block my outgoing mail?
Your account exceeded the daily SMTP limit or sent spam-like traffic, so WP.pl auto-suspended sending [Elektroda, sosarek, 18319581]. The lock intends to protect server reputation and users from phishing.
How can I check if my account actually sent spam?
Look at “Sent” on the server, review recent login IPs, and ask WP support for SMTP logs. A hijacker often deletes sent copies, so absence of messages proves nothing [Elektroda, ta_tar, 18319715].
What is the exact WP.pl sending limit?
WP publicly states a cap of roughly 300 e-mails or 500 recipients per 24 h. Exceeding it triggers a temporary blockade [“WP Pomoc – Limity”, 2023].
How long will the blockade last?
First-time violations usually clear within 24–48 h [WP Pomoc, 2023]. Repeat offenses can extend to seven days or result in a permanent SMTP ban—an edge-case failure that requires manual appeal.
What immediate steps should I take to regain control?
- Change the WP.pl password from a clean device.
- Run a full antivirus scan.
- Enable two-factor authentication.
This three-step routine fixes over 90 % of compromised accounts [Microsoft Security, 2022].
Could malware on my PC be responsible even if I used a phone all day?
Yes. A Trojan on any synced device can harvest credentials and send mail directly via SMTP, independent of your current session [Elektroda, Tommy82, 18321440].
Does switching devices influence the block?
No. The account lives on WP’s server; access method (phone, PC, client, browser) does not matter [Elektroda, ta_tar, 18319811].
What exactly counts as SPAM for WP.pl?
Unsolicited bulk messages, phishing content, or identical mails to many recipients. WP’s filter scores content, sender reputation, and send rate; flagging any metric can trigger a block [“WP Regulamin”, 2023].
How do I safely change my password on WP.pl?
Log in via https://profil.wp.pl, choose “Zmień hasło,” create a 12-character passphrase, and confirm via SMS. Avoid public Wi-Fi during this step [NIST, 2022].
What if the block keeps returning after I reset everything?
Check for leaked credentials on haveibeenpwned.com, audit third-party apps with SMTP access, and contact abuse@wp.pl with timestamps. Persistent relapse may signal an unpatched device or saved password in a compromised browser profile [Elektroda, Anonymous, 18320239].
How can I bypass the CAPTCHA loop some O2/WP users see?
Log out, clear cookies, switch to another browser or VPN. The CAPTCHA appears when WP detects abnormal traffic from your IP block [Elektroda, tomaszegtomaszeg, 18322651].
Is Mozilla Thunderbird or other clients affected by the same limits?
Yes. All external clients use the same SMTP quota; changing software won’t lift a server-side ban [Elektroda, bumble, 18323024].
