Microsoft is even worse. They are blocking their own customers from replying to emails because their outgoing smtp server rejects it as spam.
Despite all the advancement in machine learning, spam filtering seems to keep getting worse. And both Google and Microsoft have absolutely laughable support for when your emails are getting blocked. Could we just dial things back a bit? Some spam is fine if the alternative is having an unknown amount of legitimate messages not delivered to you.
- hackerfactor1 4y agoI was going to say the same thing. Even if you have SPF and DKIM working correctly, they will block your email to outlook, hotmail, and other services unless you fill out their form. If you fill out the form, then you still need to wait months before they decide whether to accept your email. On my own servers, I warn users who try to use hotmail or outlook that my email to them may not work and they should use a different email address.

- hedora 4y agoFunny. I have none of these spam problems with Fastmail. I assume the problem is because email is an afterthought at the big near-monopoly providers.
- nunez 4y agoThis was why I left Microsoft 364. Their spam filtering is insane. I lost lots of legitimate emails to my junk mail folder on Microsoft.
