The bounce message 'exceeded allowable posts without captcha', often associated with a 5.0.0 SMTP error, indicates that the receiving mail server suspects the sending server of exhibiting bot-like behavior or sending automated emails without sufficient human verification. This is a security measure implemented to prevent spam and abuse. The server imposes rate limiting and blocks messages until the sender proves they are a real person, usually through CAPTCHA verification. The issue may be linked to sender reputation, authentication problems, or the sending IP address being flagged for suspicious activity. Addressing this requires implementing CAPTCHAs, ensuring proper sender authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), monitoring sender reputation, and investigating any potential IP address flagging.
