How to remove IP restriction

Issue with email address or mobile number verification
Issue with recovery OneAuth device verification
Issue with domain verification
1. Domain ownership not proven yet
Your domain ownership verification could have been failed due to any of the following errors:
- Incorrect values
- Longer TTL
-
Registrar conflict with the DNS provider
a. Incorrect values
Reason:
You may have incorrectly entered the CNAME values in the DNS Settings page of your domain.
Solution:
Verify whether you have entered the following information correctly in the DNS Settings page of your domain:
- CNAME value as provided in the email.
- Domain name as https://domain.zoho.com.
- TTL value as 1 hour.
b. Longer TTL
Reason:
If
the TTL value you have entered is higher than the value provided in the
email, then the CNAME records you have added in your DNS provider might
not be propagated during the verification process.
Solution:
Check the TTL value and try verifying after some time.
c. Registrar conflict with the DNS provider
Reason:
When
you register the domain with one provider, but point the name servers
to another provider, then the CNAME records added in your domain
registrar are not considered valid. This is because you might have
changed the DNS provider (either accidentally or for hosting your
website), or your previous email provider configuration.
Solution:
The
CNAME records added in the provider where the name servers are pointed
will be effective and valid. To check this, do one of the following:
- Do a 'NameServer' lookup for your domain to check where your domain is hosted.
- Check with your domain registrar or the technical contact for your domain to know where the name servers are pointed.
2. Maximum number of emails limit reached. Try again later.
Reason:
If
you have tried sending instructions (i.e., email with domain
verification instructions) multiple times, we will not send further
emails for the next 24 hours. This is to avoid email spamming.
Solution:
- You can use the already received email with the CNAME records.
- If you want to send instructions to a different email ID, but have sent multiple instructions already, you can try again after 24 hours.
- You can try verifying using the alternate recovery options, if available.
