S3150 is what you get when you don't slow down after seeing 4xx. 😊


Funny, we just got this S3150 error, too.

In our case our small office external mail relay recently was blocked for about 
3 days.

This is a low traffic mail server. We never send bulk mails.
We have a _very_ low rate of mails delivered to any outlook.com domain
and we didn't have any delivery failure, at least in the past week.

Feb 11: 8 mails delivered successfully, 0 errors
Feb 12: 8 mails delivered successfully, 0 errors
Feb 13: 11 mails delivered successfully, 0 errors
Feb 14: 0 mails delivered successfully, 0 errors
Feb 15: 1 mail delivered successfully, 0 errors
Feb 16: 7 mails delivered successfully, 0 errors
Feb 17: 7 mails delivered successfully, 0 errors
Feb 18: 8 mails delivered successfully, 0 errors

Starting with Feb 19 in the morning, we suddenly saw the S3150 error.
Feb 19: 0 mails delivered successfully, 4 mails with dns=5.0.0.0 and S3150 
errors
Feb 20: 0 mails delivered successfully, 7 mails with dns=5.0.0.0 and S3150 
errors

From today morning is suddenly started to work again.

Up to the current point in time the mail relay has delivered 3 mails to 
outlook.com domains successfully.

Here are the relevant logs starting from February 18th:

(Timestamps are in the Europe/Vienna timezone which is UTC+01)

Our external mail relay has SPF, DKIM and DMARC in place.
It is not listed on any public blocking list and various publically
available SPF and DMARC test tools tell us the configuration is fine.
This configuration is in place and working since 2024 and we didn't have any 
problem since.

We even get DMARC reports from Microsoft regularily.
The last one we got yesterday for the time period 2026-02-18 00:00:00 UTC to 
2026-02-19 00:00:00 UTC

Here's the result:
  <record>
    <row>
      <source_ip>88.116.248.52</source_ip>
      <count>8</count>

        <result>pass</result>
      </spf>
    </auth_results>
  </record>

And starting the next day Microsoft blocks us?
Why?
If it's an absolute rate limit it must be very low.
8 mails per day? Are you kidding me?

If it's a rate limit after mail delivery errors: there was no error,
at least in the past 10 days.

Another point: The sender gets a bounce mail which states the S3150 error.
This mail also refers uthe sender to the Website 
http://mail.live.com/mail/troubleshooting.aspx#errors
But this site only gives a server error (timeouts or HTTP error code 500 "Internal 
server error")

There is something very strange going on.

At least it is working again now...
