Unsurprisingly turned out Michael was right and the IPs for the 2 sends
were different (stupid me for not checking the obvious issue first while
loosing my mind trying to understand the cryptic tokens).

So, if I send from the same IP I seethe BCL:7 and SCL:9 also in my own
office365 account (even if I got them in inbox, with the same MLV/SFV
tokens, but this may be "per inbox" evaluation due to inbox history).

I tested 4 of my "bulk" IPs used to send the unicampania.it email
(213.171.189.21, 213.171.189.11, 188.165.188.55, 188.165.188.39) and they
are BCL:4, BCL:5 and 2xBCL:7.

Now, from the technet I read that BCL stands for "Bulk Complaint Level" and
a value from 4 to 7 (my IPs range) is described as "The message is from a
bulk sender that generates a mixed number of complaints.".

The 4 IPs are mostly green on SNDS and complaints are low, too, there (but
I guess Office365 is a whole different infrastructure). Senderscore for the
4 IPs are 97-99, on Senderbase (Talos)  are green (good), on Google
Postmaster Tools are "green" (good).

So, I'm kind of blind on the complaints you collected for that IPs and who
could be abusing my network (shared IPs, thousands senders).

Now the questions:

1) Is there a way to reset/reconsider or at least to know what (which
senders?) did contribute to make it so bad? Is there an FBL or other tools
like JMRP/SNDS for office365 domains?

2) While I try to fix/understand the BCL issue, is there a suggested
configuration to let unicampania.it postmaster "override" this BCL and
whitelist my IPs?

3) Is there a way for the unicampania.it postmaster to know if emails from
our IPs received complaints from their users?

4) Is there an official way to deal with this office365/hosted exchange
deliverability issues (like we do with outlook.com issues) instead of this
mailop list?

Thank you very much Michael,
Stefano

PS: I collected the full headers, I could send you offlist, but I guess
there is no need for them as you were right about the different IP. Just
tell me if you need them anyway.
