I am also on Linode and also a repeat-victim of Microsoft: sjdm.org
(and Linode thinks we are jbaron.org, both addresses sort of work).

I strongly believe that nobody pays attention to UCEPROTECT3. I don't
think we have ever been off of it, and lately we have 100% success
except for a few "user not found" or "over quota" messages, including
with Microsoft. The last problem with Microsoft took over a week to
resolve despite repeated emails from what seemed to be a person saying
that they had brought in their escalation team, or something like
that.

That weeklong outage was due to an error message about IPv4 addresses
in "our range". UCEPROTECT3, as I recall, looks at IPv6. Microsoft
uses only ipv4. Of course we control exactly one ipv4 address. (We do
have one /64 ipv6 address, installed at my request by Linode, and that
fixed some of the other blocklists that look at ipv6, even though we
have another ipv6 address without that range specifier, which is what
I think it is.)

Spamhaus is a much bigger problem. I think the /64 helped with
that. For the last few months they have not given us trouble.

Please feel free to communicate with me directly at ba...@sjdm.org or
the address I am writing from. I've spent a lot of time getting things
to work, and, at this moment, they do.
