Azure.  The   What specific IPs are you seeing?

Not sure if I'd call it extreme, but a marked increase beginning Feb 6th.

Subject: [mailop] Extreme amounts of SMTP auth from microsoft/outlook IPs

Hi

I'm seeing an extreme amount of SMTP authentications (over 600/s) from the 
microsoft owned 40.101.0.0/16 range on my customer SMTP servers.
It's just auth, with valid credentials, and then it disconnects right after so 
no attempts to send any mails have been done for the vast majority of these 
connections. A small amount of valid mails are being sent from this range 
though. HELO indicates it's from outlook.com. So seems like their system for 
sending with your own domain through external servers has gone a bit haywire...

I've sent ab...@microsoft.com a mail about it, but I'm a bit curious if anyone 
else is seeing the same?
