    This is issue with cPanel / WHM - Settings. Your cPanel hosting Vendor needs to fix in EXIM settings.

    nothing to blame Microsoft. (We have lot of ther ways to blame Microsoft - like mximum PST OST limit 50GB, etc 😃 )

    Hello Ahmad Altaher,

    Good day to you and hope you are doing well.

    Regarding your issue, would like to confirm does the same issue occurs if you send email via web mail app? If you haven’t check with web mail app, kindly check from there. If web mail app side same issue, kindly provide us your web mail app link and if web mail app side has no issue, it means issue is with Outlook desktop app.

    For Outlook desktop app, we found that when user sending email from Outlook desktop app and Outlook is not configured to correctly wrap the sentences within the email, this type of error occurs. Long lines can be hard to read in emails, as such it is considered proper email etiquette to break the lines of your messages to somewhere between 65 and 76 characters. When you wrap long lines of text, the Outlook email client automatically breaks sentences away from the current line to start on a new line. This shortens the length of all outgoing emails and is similar to narrowing the margins of the writing space. So given this situation, we also recommend to kindly check your settings and set accordingly to see if it makes any difference.

    To do so : Open Outlook > go to File > select Options > go to Mail > under Message format > check for Automatically wrap text as character settings and set between 60 to 76 > click Ok to save changes > restart Outlook.

    Screenshot for your reference:

    If still facing the same issue, request you to kindly provide us this entire bounce back message and your Outlook Office account page screenshot via open Outlook > File > Office Account via Private Message only, so based on it we will further check from our side and assist you. At this point, your kind understanding and co-operation will be highly appreciated.

    Thank you so much for your precious time. Stay safe and healthy.

    Regards,

    Ankita Vaidya
