Sending email through Outlook smtp using third party app – it is permissible?
I want to send router and backup alerts via email and I have configured the backup and router software to send the alerts via the Outlook smtp. I know it works as I successfully tested it. However after a few hours the account has been frozen for violating acceptable use regarding spamming. Is prohibited to do this? It is certainly technically possible to do it as I have done it and it works. I had to supply my mobile to get a code to unlock the account. Will that satisfy Microsoft that I am not using the account for spamming? I cannot find a definitive statement of whether it is allowed to do what I am doing. To be on the safe side I have disabled the alerts until I know. If this is going to keep on happening and I risk a ban then I will have to find another solution. Thanks for any assistance
