[Mailman-Users] Outlook blocked again, but strange response
Hi, So it's happened again and I have no idea why, though I suspect some of my IP neighbors may have been put on Microsoft's naughty list as my subnet with Linode was recently listed on Uceprotect level 2. Anyway, I go to send an Email to an Outlook user, and get the typical thing, Unfortunately, messages from XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX weren't sent. Fill out the support request, expect to get conditionally mitigated in a few hours…nope. Instead, I get this: Hi , Thanks for your patience, we are currently experiencing technical difficulties and our engineers are working to resolve the issue at the earliest. Thanks again, Outlook.com Deliverability Support Has anyone received this from Microsoft before? If so, will the issue eventually be resolved, or do I need to wait a few days and submit my request again?

Instead, I get this: As a Linode (now Akamai) user myself, I can confirm that they have "Issues" with the reputation of their IP address spaces, especially their IPv6 address space. They've been very liberal and helpful in helping us stay connected, as they have for many others, and I've corresponded with them about this issue. They're not doing anything wrong, and crack down on spammers using their cloud servers, but it's not the kinder, gentler Internet of yester-year, and they're, to an extent, caught in the middle. On top of this, MS Outlook servers are, and have been for a long time, a real PITA, notorious for long time for blocking emails on very flimsy grounds. To the best of my knowledge, there's no fix for this at the list-server level. The bottom line seems to be that the only email services which work consistently with all recipients are those with deep pockets - Gmail, Yahoo, Microsoft email, etc. If you have the money, you can buy a better reputation for your IP addresses are address group, but it's a money game. -- Lindsay Haisley | "The first casualty when FMP Computer Services | war comes is truth." 512-496-7118 | http://www.fmp.com| -- Hiram W Johnson -- Mailman-Users mailing list -- mailman-users@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to mailman-users-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.python.org/ Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/ https://mail.python.org/archives/list/mailman-users@python.org/ Member address: arch...@mail-archive.com

They list entire netblocks and then offer to whitelist your specific IP **temporarily** for a fee. Unfortunately some ESPs do use them. Hi , Thanks for your patience, we are currently experiencing technical difficulties and our engineers are working to resolve the issue at the earliest. Dealing with Microsoft support about issues like this is a pain. My experience is it's difficult to tell whether their chatty, friendly responses are actually written by a human or a robot and you have to keep repeating stuff as they ask for things which were provided earlier in the thread, but if you are patient and persistent, you eventually get the result you want. -- Mark Sapiro The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.
