Microsoft's mail blocking is very aggressive.

I've dealt with this a few times. Each time we found a compromised email account on our system. So if you haven't already done so, I'd analyze logs looking for an unusually busy sender.

The catch is that after you fix whatever the problem is you'll still be blocked for several days afterwards. I do wish they'd provide samples of whatever messages set off the blocking. In a perfect world I'd also want a way to send them an "all clear" that the problem is resolved.

Subject: [mailop] What's Microsoft's S3150 block list and where do I go to request removal?

Hi,

We have a customer who's been receiving Icinga (basically Nagios)
alerts every few hours for the last few days to their hotmail
address. The customer could/should have either addressed the
situation or halted the alerts, but they didn't and that's their
choice.

In the third day of this we've started getting this NDR:

  [removed]@hotmail.com
    host hotmail-com.olc.protection.outlook.com [104.47.55.161]
    SMTP error from remote mail server after pipelined MAIL 
FROM:<nag...@mon0.bitfolk.com> SIZE=2107:
    550 5.7.1 Unfortunately, messages from [85.119.80.238] weren't sent. Please 
contact your Internet service
provider since part of their network is on our block list (S3150). You can also 
refer your provider to
http://mail.live.com/mail/troubleshooting.aspx#errors. 
[BN8NAM12FT030.eop-nam12.prod.protection.outlook.com]

So, what's "S3150"? — it isn't mentioned at all on
http://mail.live.com/mail/troubleshooting.aspx#errors — and where
should I be going to request delist?

I realise I need to sort out SPF for that envelope sender.

All of the mails will have been almost identical so I can see why
something might have been triggered, however they were requested by
the recipient.

Cheers,
Andy
