Introduction
The PII_EMAIL_B79C1D8 error is a made up email error code that indicates a problem with your email settings. This error is not actually an error, but rather a warning that something might be wrong. The PII_EMAIL_B79C1D8 error code can be caused by a few different things, but the most common cause is when your email settings are not configured correctly.
What is PII_EMAIL_B79C1D8?
PII_EMAIL_B79C1D8 is an error code that indicates that there is personal information in an email that should not be there. This could be anything from a home address to a Social Security number. This error can occur for a number of reasons, but it is most often caused by accidentally including PII in an email or by trying to send an email to too many recipients at once.
There are a few different ways to fix this error, but the most common solution is to simply remove the personal information from the email before sending it. If you need to send an email to multiple people at once, you can use a distribution list or bcc (blind carbon copy) instead of cc (carbon copy). This will prevent the personal information from being included in the email.
You can also try using a different email service that doesn’t have this restriction, such as Gmail or Yahoo Mail.
