It's nice to see another representative of a webhoster brave enough to post on here, welcome :) I've been dealing with blacklist issues at Hetzner for the past 6 years, and I've posted on here multiple times with my experiences. My first post was actually about Microsoft. If you check the archives you'll find some posts over the past few months with general information on Microsoft and blacklists, but I can repeat some of that here that nobody has mentioned yet. Since your issue is with Microsoft, it would be good to figure out which of their blacklists your IPs are on. The error you posted is for the Office365 blacklist, while the error one of your clients posted is for the Outlook blacklist. Those are two separate blacklists with separate processes for getting IPs delisted. If you're mostly dealing with Office365 then I can only wish you all the best. We've had very few issues with this blacklist, which I'm thankful for since there doesn't appear to be much that can be done, other than emailing delist@. As for Outlook, delisting IPs is done through a form, and it works most of the time, though often you will need to escalate the ticket. If you haven't already done so, make sure you sign up your network in the Microsoft SNDS. That will show you all of the IPs currently on the Outlook blacklist. It also shows you (daily) all the IPs that sent over 100 emails to Microsoft accounts, including how many emails, the complaint rate, and trap hits. Incredibly useful (and free!) information. Some additional information on the Microsoft blacklists and services they provide can be found in our docs: https://docs.hetzner.com/robot/dedicated-server/troubleshooting/microsoft-blacklist/ As for the general issue with blacklistings, depending on how constrained you are by management (trust me, I get it), there are a number of things you can look into. For example, Spamhaus has a list of IPs on their public SBL, some of which go back a year: https://www.spamhaus.org/sbl/listings/linode.com If you haven't already done so, you can sign up for their PBL account, and that way you can see all of the IPs in your network that are listed on their various lists. Like the SNDS, this is provided for free and is incredibly useful. Also, while it looks like you paid UCEPROTECT to delist all of your IPs last week, your entire network is back on the level 3 list, and the trend doesn't look positive. Thankfully though, they show you exactly which IPs are causing this (scroll down to the bottom and click the relevant link): https://www.uceprotect.net/en/rblcheck.php?asn=63949 Finally, make sure you're signed up for as many blacklist reports (mainly SpamCop and SORBS) and FBLs (mainly through Validity) as possible. There's an interesting dicussion on here right now regarding how to handle FBL complaints, so it would make sense to look into that as well. The more information you have, the better. I'm assuming you've already done some if not most of what I wrote, but I wanted to at least cover the basics. I hope that made sense and I hope you are able to resolve the issues you are facing.

Since yesterday 50 accounts represnting several hundred IPs have been cancelled as fraud for this specific SMTP-enabled-customer plus high IP churn abuse pattern. A new policy will be going into effect today, putting further restrictions on when support may grant outbound-SMTP-filter removal to requesting customers.

Thanks for the support! Mine is one of those hundreds of tickets (FYI 16748061). relay=hotmail-com.olc.protection.outlook.com[104.47.14.33]:25, delay=0.85, delays=0.04/0.02/0.63/0.16, dsn=5.7.1, status=bounced (host hotmail-com.olc.protection.outlook.com[104.47.14.33] said: 550 5.7.1 Unfortunately, messages from [66.175.223.185] weren't sent.

[VI1EUR04FT006.eop-eur04.prod.protection.outlook.com] (in reply to MAIL FROM command)) Based on discussion in HN, it seems Microsoft has suddenly blocked off large parts of the Internet sometime in late December, the delivery problem is much broader than Linode IP space. Aside from filing a ticket with Linode (due to the "Please contact your Internet service provider since part of their network is on our block list" part in the message) I also tried various ways to contact Microsoft directly with limited success. I received prompt replies but they are the same bot-reply form letter, so not clear if anyone is reading them. I got the same response that Linode got (based on the support ticket) "Not qualified for mitigation 66.175.223.185/32 Our investigation has determined that the above IP(s) do not qualify for mitigation." However, today I tried writing to my friend at hotmail.com again and this time didn't get the IP-based block bounce, so at least something has changed.

[mailop] blocked by microsoft -- support procedure?
Hi, I'm not generally involved in our support issues, but a coworker at my work (Linode) reached out to me about what looks to be a new problem involving hosting customers being blocked by by Microsoft. We have 150-200 new support tickets about this, starting on December 21, 2021. Our support goes back and forth with the customers and tries to help, typically 4 responses, but up to 48, per ticket, and both support and customers are growing increasingly frustrated. Customers and our support team have been reaching out to del...@messaging.microsoft.com, but are concluding this is non-monitored. Linode doesn't provide any e-mail services for the customers, so all these involve different customer-allocated IPs and different hosting customers. While the ones I'm spot checking, looking at these tickets, have DNS, SPF, and other mechanisms set up appropriately, of course the situation varies. At least some of these customers and/or our support has confirmed their Linode IPs are not listed on any public DNSBLS they can find. Linode has by default blocked all outbound SMTP for all accounts starting November 2019, until customers have met certain criteria. I have not become aware of any recent large or not-promptly addressed spamming problems, nor seen recent mention of spammers from Linode IP space on here or other e-mail hosting related lists since I started here in January, 2020. I saw the December thread on this list from a listmember who is (or was?) Linode hosted, and ran into this MS blocking Linode trouble.

Re: [mailop] blocked by microsoft
Hi everyone, > Maybe there's a magic word you have to say to get the issue escalated to someone that can actually do anything, but if there is I haven't managed to figure out what it is... What worked for me in the past is stating that blocking a small MSP is against the local law in the Netherlands, as they abuse their power. Sadly, I can't find the exact law right this moment, but the important thing is this worked :) Copy of my reply: "I have signed up for SNDS and JMRP. There is no data that indicates we are sending out spam, and still your service moves our emails to the spam folder. You can't force small providers to purchase a expensive certificate from a third party to simply deliver email to the mailbox. This is abuse of your power which makes it impossible for small businesses and individuals to operate their own email server and that abuse of power is against dutch law." After that, the problem was resolved and from that moment on, that server never had any deliverability issues to their services. Hope this helps some of you!

I've only seen that whenever I've started sending from new IPs that may have been used to host websites at some point before I got them. I've received an issue number SRX1533558542ID but nobody can explain what is going on, or how to remove the block. While I will always open an issue any time MS blocks an IP I'm not sure doing so actually helps at all. The process usually goes like this: 1: Open ticket, provide examples of error messages MS server gives 2: Get response saying they can't see any reason why mails are not delivered 3: Reopen ticket, provide additional examples of errors messages with current timestamps 4: Get response saying someone will investigate 5: Get response saying they've fixed something and it will take up to 24h to take effect 6: Wait 24+h, nothing will be fixed, reopen ticket and provide additional examples of errors messages with current timestamps 7: goto 2 Then after pretty much exactly 1, 2 or maybe 3 weeks after the issues started the problem will go away, no matter where in the above process you are. i.e. the ban was for X weeks and has now expired and the "support" was just wasting your time because they probably don't have the power/access to actually solve anything and no real means of escalating anything to anyone that do have that power. Maybe there's a magic word you have to say to get the issue escalated to someone that can actually do anything, but if there is I haven't managed to figure out what it is... -- BR/Mvh.

[mailop] blocked by microsoft
Hello everyone, Is there anyone at Microsoft who can help me understand why my IP is blocked? I've sent emails to del...@messaging.microsoft.com without success. I've opened an issue with https://sender.office.com/ without success. I've received an issue number SRX1533558542ID but nobody can explain what is going on, or how to remove the block. I've got SPF/DKIM/DMARC working, the server is sending out 1-2 emails per week, they are all personal mail. I'd appreciate some help. Thank you. ___ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
