If there’s one thing I’ve learned you can’t change:
If the big provider blocks you, it’s your fault. Facts don’t matter.
People would just as gladly cut you out of their lives before they would
blame a major corporation for anything. And it’s all your fault because
reasons.
Anyway, how many times did you push back against their decision in the
email chain? It sounds like you might could do with a couple more.

As a side note, I wish I lived in a world where mail servers were
denied from sending emails to servers they block. I get that this is
infeasible, that's why I said "I wish". It's just not fair that they
can basically defame me by making it look like I'm not responsive when,
really, they don't check to see if they are sending to a recipient that
they themselves have blocked.
Out of principle, I'm going to bounce these emails with a message
telling the sender to use a different email service to reach me. I know
this isn't going to make Microsoft to change or anything, but maybe it
will push some people to use a smaller provider.
I'm wondering if anyone can give me pointers on the best way to block
Microsoft email senders. It seems like they have a lot of domains and
I'd like to block as many as possible. Any advice anyone has for the
most comprehensive way to do this would be much appreciated.
