As as self-hoster, I'm keenly aware of the shenanigans that Big Mail Corps play with email (e.g. rejecting perfectly legitimate email, disappearing legitimate email, in short censorship), but I haven't noticed any recent problems with MS. Most of my woes come from Gmail alone, though, I've noticed lately that Email SMS gateways have recently gotten shoddy. That's probably because they switched to using cloudfilter.net for some kind of "spam protection". It seems that the "modern" trend is to take protocols that were designed to be decentralized and throwing them all into one big bucket. Doesn't seem like a healthy combination. Still, I'm curious what actual error messages are being sent back to Mark. Maybe it's something that can be easily addressed. Thanks, Andy
