And I understand the reasons for that. But... can't you see how this
turns into a "he said / she said" argument?
Without giving any message/sender/recipient details away (that the
sending mail admin can't already see) they could give the ID of the
message transaction
Their servers respond to the message with something like this:
250 2.6.0 <messageid> [InternalId=1112312312313,
Hostname=DB8EUR06HT227.eop-eur06.prod.protection.outlook.com] 1117027
bytes in 0.520, 2096.624 KB/sec Queued mail for delivery -> 250 2.1.5
So, they could easily give out the "internalid" & "hostname" values
without divulging any personal information about either the message
sender or recipient or content, so there is no GDPR or data protection
breach there. If the person they tell those to can use them to identify
the message details, then that person could already have seen the
message details. If not, then it tells them nothing.
Or, maybe, it's because Microsoft's lawyers know that their systems are
a bit dodgy/arbitrary/random and don't want to risk all the problems
being discovered?
