Cox email censorship?
I've been trying to send an email from my Cox account to another Cox account and when I do, I get:
An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <xxxxxxxxx@cox.net> message rejected. Refer to Error Codes section at www.cox.com/.../email-error-codes.html for more information. AUP#CXSNDR. Please check the message and try again.
The email is long and has the following link in it to a government website:
https://www.azleg.gov/FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/ars/33/01804.htm&Title=33&DocType=ARS
When I remove the link, the email goes through just fine.
If I send a short sentence with this link, it goes through just fine.
But long text with this email and I get the error.
When I call support, they tell me that I need to spend $10/ month on a support plan and they will help "fix" my Thunderbird email client. Rep says that if the problem ends up being on Cox's end that they will not give me a refund.
Is this a ploy to make more money from us?
I am baffled why this would be a problem on my end.
Also today I tried to respond to a perfectly valid commercial email message today and same error message. I have not played around with removing content, but this is unacceptable.

Hi, we are all screwed with the same problem of not being able to send emails outside of their IP address. I was told it’s for security reasons. I have been setting up smtp servers for the last fifteen years and I have never seen anything like this, to me it’s plain laziness, they should have done a due diligence on the security methodology and the impact it will have it’s customers ( like that will ever happen). They want you to log into their web mail and not use a third party email program like outlook.
