virtav Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 30 failed logins is hardly a brute force attack, given that my email client on my phone and PC each synchronise mail every minute.There are some 3 or 4 email accounts on the domain. Times that by 2 (for Imap AND POP3) and times 2 again for the 2 machines I use. That is some 12 account settings that I have to stop or change while this is addressed. Aquamail on my phone is simply unhelpful on this score so I have had to disable ALL my email accounts - another 10 accounts outside helio. My PC has been set to work offline. I will now TRY and login again and .....if successful....will reset the password to what it was before SOMETHING stopped it all working. IF I can login, then I can get my password back to original so all the email clients will once again be in sync. In all the years I have used helio, I have never had such a problem of being denied access due to email clients having wrong password or similar. I understand the frustration your side. Trust me - it's not that great my side - I am relying on emails that I am simply unable to access as I am denied access to my account.THANK YOU (again)I appear to have logged in okay now.I have re-entered the password on ALL accounts (pop3 and IMAP).HOPEFULLY that's the end of it. I am grateful for the help over this very frustrating issueRgds
Krydos Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 Yeah, no problem. The brute force policy has been the same in all the years you've used Heliohost too. It just doesn't cause a problem until you get a wrong password saved somewhere. FTP clients are notorious for triggering it too.
