As I hinted previously, no.
I no longer can comment on the Consumer side of the house.

Aloha,

I checked mail logs going back to December 2025 - and I see exactly zero 421 
errors.  As a matter of fact we have exactly zero 4XX responses from Outlook - 
network wide, but I do see 550's with the error 3150.

Are you sure this is properly implemented?

Feels half-baked as though it was AI vibe coded.

Thank you,

We’ve also been seeing this. Clients that have dedicated mailing IPs that 
haven’t had issues and have been established for a long time. No new increased 
flows - normal transactional emails.

Even opened a ticket and got told everything was fine.

If it’s throttling - why not just say that?

So what do we tell customers? “Microsoft things you’re sending too much mail 
and there’s nothing you can do but send less mail.”?

Slow down your deliveries.

The rate limit must be incredibly low, if that's the case.   We sent less than 
1500 messages to outlook.com<http://outlook.com/> mail servers all day on 
February 20th.

If it is a rate limit, then please share where the rate limit is documented, so 
that I can set the throttle appropriately.  I can't keep under a rate limit if 
I don't know what it is.

And if it's a rate limit, why are we getting 500 errors instead of 400?  That 
should be a temporary error.
