Is it a shared IP?
If not, raise an escalation thru the OutLook Consumer portal.

Also, if the rep has become bad enough, no amount of traffic might be allowed.
These are issues you'll have to take up with the front line team.

Aloha,
Michael.

Hi Michael,


That and S3140 indicates that your traffic is being throttled.

You could try slowing down your delivery rate to not trip the breakers.



That's all I can say.

As an example, we had a customer with a tiny amount of outbound email headed to 
Microsoft controlled mail servers (all emails sent from their own server, with 
their own IP - i.e. these are the only emails sent to Microsoft from that IP in 
the time period):

Oct  7 17:47:59
Oct  8 15:53:18
Oct 14 06:01:00
Oct 17 14:42:43
Oct 20 17:05:27
Oct 21 13:05:12
Oct 21 15:06:11
Oct 22 13:46:35
Oct 23 20:15:57
Oct 24 17:18:24 Please contact your Internet service provider since part of 
their network is on our block list (S3150).

Since this is already low volume, how can this be throttled to avoid tripping 
S3150 blocks?

If they were sending hundreds or thousands of emails per hour (or changing 
between low and high(er) volume) then sure it's obvious how to change 
behaviour, but single digit emails per day shouldn't "randomly" trigger a rate 
limit block? What are we missing?

The above outbound mail rate looks fairly constant to me.

Regards,
Damien
