Hi David,

Can you share the headers such as X-Forefront-Antispam-Report:, 
X-Microsoft-Antispam:, X-Exchange-Antispam-Report-Test:, 
X-Exchange-Antispam-Report-CFA-Test:, X-Microsoft-Antispam-Mailbox-Delivery:, 
and whatever else relevant?

BTW this tool https://testconnectivity.microsoft.com/ could help visualize the 
headers more easily

In my cases of undoubtedly misplaced emails (in junk folder instead of inbox), 
I have some funky things such as:
-              BCL:8 (all indicators of complaints, including those provided by 
SNDS and JMRP, being at the lowest for months, I don't explain this score)
-              SFV:NSPM (so the content filter said "non-spam")
-              PCL:0 (nothing weird here)
-              SCL:1 ("Non-spam because the message was scanned and determined 
to be clean")
-              SPF, DKIM and DMARC results are "pass", MAIL FROM:, From: and d= 
domains are aligned
-              X-Microsoft-Antispam-Mailbox-Delivery: contains 
"RF:JunkEmail;OFR:SpamFilterAuthJ;" for the case when it's in junk folder

When these emails reach inbox (because they sometimes do), the _only_ notable 
difference is that this last header doesn't contain these RF: and OFR: 
information. There's just no mention of it. The rest is identical, even the 
BCL:8.

I'd be happy to gather similar cases so we could build a bigger and better 
argumentation (the objective being to ease Microsoft's job in fixing this), so 
don't hesitate to share on or off list.

Cheers,
Benjamin

Objet : [mailop] Microsoft inbox placement issues


Hi everyone,



I'm hoping someone here might be able to help. We're a small ESP that focuses 
on serving the small business market. In Return Path, we're seeing great inbox 
placement at Gmail, Yahoo and AOL, and terrible inbox placement at Microsoft. 
We use SNDS and JMRP already and neither seem to help. It doesn't matter 
whether I do a seed test from a green IP, yellow IP, or red IP, they all run 
into the same filtering issues. Even my seed test emails going out of 
transactional-only, always green IPs run into filtering problems.



I've opened several support tickets with Microsoft - SRX1407027597ID is the 
latest - but they seem completely unable to help. They just tell me that 
there's nothing wrong with the IPs, or that the filtering is due to 
SmartScreen, etc but provide nothing actionable that would help us fix the 
issue and improve our inbox placement.



We already monitor things like hard bounce rates, complaint rates, spam filter 
analysis, spam trap hits, etc. for all of our customers and take action on bad 
actors in our network. So far that's been working for us everywhere else, but 
not at Microsoft.



Any ideas of what we can do, or who to talk to, to get better inbox placement 
at Microsoft?
