Microsoft warns that Gmail blocks some Outlook emails as 'spam'
- chrisjj 3y ago> While Microsoft didn't share the root cause behind Outlook.com emails getting tagged and blocked as spam Let me guess. These Outlook emails are spam. I notice nowhere does this article say otherwise.
- sylware 3y agoIt seems many domestic hosted smtp servers are served as spam, even after an history of legit traffic. Pure IP SMTP or SPF forbid spoofing with proper analysis of headers, namely we would be talking about pown accounts or servers. But how to verify that? Only gmail people can tell us. And even then, we would have to trust people which interest is to kill alternative SMTP services.

- bombcar 3y agoI have seen a substantial increase in outlook.com spam emails as of a few weeks ago.
- StayTrue 3y agoI sympathize in theory but MS is the worst offender in this category.
- jessriedel 3y agoI tried to forward a message from my gmail account to my Outlook/Microsoft-hosted work account, and found out that Microsoft was silently eating messages it (incorrectly) thought were spam, without notifying either the sender or recipient.
- jocoda 3y agoPot calling the kettle black. Outlook.com still rejects messages from an entire c block if they don't like a particular IP, even when other IPs in that range are not black listed anywhere. To be fair, things have improved and you now get an undelivered mail notification. Used to be the message would simply disappear without a trace.
