Delayed OTPs for Websites to Email
Published
Hello - I'm a new user and I've been trying to use mailbox.org as my professional mail. I've noticed that when I try to get OPTs from websites, the e-mails don't come for about 10 minutes or so. It means that it delays me logging into sites for 10 to 15 minutes while I wait for the OTPs. Is this a common thing? Is there anything I can do in settings to not have this happen?

I'm also a new user and have experienced this as well. I think it *may* be a consequence of Grey Listing which is one of the antispam measures Mailbox use. When your account first receives an email from an unknown source it's rejected as most genuine servers will automatically send the message again a very short while later. I'm guessing that OTP servers don't resend due them perceiving the Mailbox rejection to be a security risk. The solution I've found is to request a further OTP as soon as you are able. The result is that one of them is then allowed through almost immediately. A bit of a faff I agree. Turning off Grey Listing is possible but it's not something I've done.

Sean, have the solutions I suggested work for you? I would appreciate having confirmation of my theory. Dave
