You have to wait an hour for the quota to reset.
If you retry immediately, it will fail.
If you send too many emails in a short amount of time, it will fail again.
Also, ask the human what the quoita value is, and if it's too low, could they
consider raising the VBL ("Volume-Based Limit) for your Ips.
They may say, "No".
Or it might help your problem if there have not been any spam reports from your
campaigns.
Good hunting.
Aloha,
Michael.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [mailop] Microsoft Blocking
In our experience, the first answer when we fill the form at
https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Folcsupport.office.com%2F&data=05%7C02%7Cmichael.wise%40microsoft.com%7C6441d62359f14c33e06908de6e74d4a7%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C639069645265251202%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=64Xnp7VUlCfJJ7I9PDt5RULhhdGavp09S%2Fw%2Fcw79ixI%3D&reserved=0<https://olcsupport.office.com/>
is an automated message from a bot. In
most cases, what the bot says is wrong. It says that all is fine while
we are blocked.
We can reply to this message to get an answer from an actual human
being. The human say they have increased our quota and that we should be
fine to send from that IP from now on. Apparently Microsoft allows small
providers a certain number of emails on a certain period of time.
At any rate, we tried sending one email after being told by a human that
we could send more, and that one email bounced same as the others. Other
people we talked to say that talking to the human resolved the issue,
but not for us apparently.
So YMMV I guess.
As for the JMRP (Junk Mail Reporting Program, Microsoft's CFL -
Complaint Feedback Loop), the whole interface is broken for us. We just
got a message from Microsoft telling us it is currently being
redesigned. Hopefully it starts working again soon.
