If a part of the ISP's network is on a spam list, and the mailop mail
server is on the  same IP block, there are two issues here, 1) the issue of
the difficulties in reaching out the filter (in this case Microsoft) and
other filters still unknown, and the lengthy process, if at all responsive,
of rectifying the false record. This is not easy.  2) How does one ask for
an IP address or a small block, as a new block that is not a part of, nor
in the vicinity of,  a contaminated block? Or if it is a reassigned IP
address, how does one ask the RIR / NIR to check the past history of the IP
address block that is being reassigned (like how to verify the service
history of a used car) ?
