Multiple people have talked to employees inside Microsoft, and I suspect their customers have been blowing up support about this. I know they’re aware, I suspect they’re frantically working on a fix. Update 11 am PDT: It appears this filter is firing when mail has the word “hotmail” in it. This includes if non displaying text (like CSS) has the word in it.

There is a bounce reply that we see frequently from Office 365(tm) hosted domains that looks like this one: "550 5.4.1 [xxxxxx@yyyyyy.zzz]: Recipient address rejected: Access denied ...". We have historically believed this bounce reply to mean that the intended recipient of the message had configured some kind of personal filtering to reject messages from a sender; because of this belief, we have always classified this response with code 50, meaning that it’s a block bounce. Such a classification has [...]

GDPR, the European Union’s new privacy law that goes into effect on May 25th, 2018, has been keeping email marketers on their toes. One of the biggest areas of change—and the one that’s been causing email marketers the biggest headaches—is the question of how to collect and store consent. We’ve written in detail about how GDPR raises the bar to a higher standard of consent, and how you can ensure your email consents meet the new requirements going forward. But GDPR not only applies to new consents [...]

There has been a great deal of focus on the challenges for data owners in general,—and marketers in particular—that Europe’s new General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) will pose. However, there has been less focus on the potential upside that better data quality, more robust consent, and greater transparency will deliver improved program performance. Consumers will [...]
