I don't know what's triggering my SMTP_BLOCK but after a few hours of manually turning it OFF in ConfigServer Security & Firewall, Firewall Configuration, it turns ON automatically by itself.

How can I turn it off indefinitely?

I have PHP Page that uses PHPMailer to send email using smtp.office365.com, it only works when I turn off the SMTP_BLOCK.

I don't understand how CSF would change any settings by itself, but maybe you could leave it ON, and use SMTP_ALLOWUSER setting.
