Hey

Just wondering how i can stop this message coming up when sending an email via a contact form on a site i have hosted. is it a IP issue or a server setting that i need to change or do i need to add any dns records ?

Thanks in advanced.

Is it via a php script? Does it use the php mail function or does it properly authenticate via SMTP?

Then install some SMTP plugin for Wordpress like "WordPress Mail SMTP" and configure it to send emails using SMTP with authorization.

Yes, the php mail function is not safe to use and is deprecated in AlmaLinux -- so use a proper alternative (SMTP) that authenticates, logs, and has manageable rate limits.
