And y'all thought the MS mitigation process couldn't get more circuitous...
based on my experience today, the new process is:

1) Get notified that your IP(s) is on the MS 'block list'. Fill out the
form.
2) Get a response saying nothing was found, or not eligible for mitigation.
3) Reply (except you can't JUST reply, you must edit the To address as
instructed in their response) requesting review.
4) Receive a reply asking you to (redundantly) provide
  Exact sending IP address :
  Exact Sending domain:
  Complete Error message with time stamp:
  Explain the issue in detail:
5) Wait for "issue mitigated" response.

So far, I've gotten one "mitigated" reply; waiting on two others. I'm
pretty sure this is all contracted out to low-paid, low-skilled workers in
India.
