I emailed mailop list about a similar issue and a Microsoft admin emailed me privately about it.  My listing in their system was caused by a hacked account that was resolved in a few hours, but they continued treating us as a spam source for several days after.  The MSFT guy eventually told me that there was an internal issue that prevented my auto delisting and they fixed it.


Also, as a mitigation step I sent outgoing through a different IP address for awhile.  I keep a /26 in my SPF record so I just picked another one from that block.  I don't know if you have that luxury.

MailOps would be better suited than NANOG.

I think the microsoft outage recently forced them to tickle their middle bits. They rate limited RackSpace even the other day. This is yet another of the billion reasons why Im glad we dont host our own email

The NANOG list will probably get you contacts for resolutions

    I've started having a lot of problems over the last week with my
    mailserver getting blocked for Spam.  I can't find any reason why,
    but
    Microsoft/Senderbase/Comcast are blocking me.  I'm not on any
    Blacklists
    that I can find, MXToolbox shows it clean on all their blacklist
    checks,
    and it's not on barracuda's list.  My Mailserver traffic is
    normal, so I
    don't' think I have any compromised accounts.

    I can't find anywhere to check/remove the Microsoft blacklist.  The
    Returned SMTP Messages just has a Link to their general FAQ page
    and a
    helpful note that says 'We are blocking your email, Contact your
    network
    administrator for assistance'.

    Going directly to Senderbase and looking up My server shows the
    server
    clean.

    I've already told one customer to move their domain off of me, so I
    don't have to answer their hourly calls wondering when it will be
    fixed,
    and I'm getting ready to tell another to leave, since there's nothing
    that I can find to fix.  But it's always MY fault that someone
    else is
    not accepting their email.  It's never up to the person with the
    Hotmail
    or Comcast account complaining to their company that they can't
    receive
    mail from this person.

    Did something recently change with some SMTP Protocol or vague DNS
    check
    that I missed updating that the big companies are blacklisting me now?
