 * Hi,
    Per 1 October Microsoft will enable the basic security defaults settings
   in Azure. Then you also need to use 2MFA. Before I tested the contact form 7 
   without the Basic Security defaults setting and everything is working fine! But
   last weekend I enabled the Basic Security default settings because I want to 
   check before It will implemented “hard” But since then I get an error… SMTP Authentication
   failed….
 * Does anybody know a solution for this? When It’s on the basic security default
   settings you can send via verified SMTP ….
 * Hope there is a solution otherwise this will have a huge impact on the plugin/
   wordpress and Office365 solutions / email adresses.
