Thanks (thank you!) to the gnomes that work behind the scenes this was
fixed, at least for my use case.

Maybe try sending a new email and if it fails file the form and if it
fails report here on the case#. I don't know of a better solution but
sometimes quiet persistence works.

[mailop] hotmail and msn problem

2023-09-26 Thread Jyri J. Virkki via mailop

A couple times every year Microsoft (at least for hotmail and msn
recipients) keeps re-adding my IP to their blocklist for no reason.

Normally this has been relatively painless, I have used the form at

https://olcsupport.office.com/

to report the problem and it always gets fixed within a day so no
biggie.

Last week and into this week the above form seems to have stopped
working. I can submit the info, but I quickly get an autoresponder
email back saying they are experiencing technical difficulties (see
text quoted below). This has been going for two weeks now so does not
appear to be a temporary glitch.

Anyone know of an alternate way to report the problem or have any
insight on whether this "technical difficulty" will be fixed?

Thanks!

None of the three analogies is really comparable (phone call, postal
mail, taxi) because in each case the person doing the rejecting is the
intended recipient. Who certainly has the moral right to reject.

Try this: You live in an apartment and invite a friend over for dinner
(message sent by you and received by your friend).  They take the taxi
over to your place and arrive (response email IP packet reaches
t-online). But, your building has a cantankerous doorman who doesn't
like how your friend looks and slams the door in their face. The
doorman doesn't check whether you wanted this visitor and doesn't even
tell you what they just did. So, you sit in your apartment all night
waiting and wondering why the friend isn't arriving but you will never
know.

That's a good analogy for t-online. Both the sender and recipient are
innocent victims of t-online's oddball behavior.

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. Please contact your 
Internet service provider since part of their network is on our block list 
(S3140). You can also refer your provider to 
http://mail.live.com/mail/troubleshooting.aspx#errors. 
[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. I'll follow up offline with him later to see if anything
got delivered or not.
