Ah, yep, thanks for catching that typo.

This is anecdotal, but I think it illustrates even at a smaller scale the persistent problem Microsoft currently has with their tenancy.

I did some quick perusal of the last month's data from our email logs, and out of a total of 22,473 external emails that contain a .onmicrosoft.com subdomain in the RFC5322.FROM field -- 22,086 were blocked because of various reasons:

* 21,228 spam
* 1 malware
* 759 phishing
* 5 impostor
* 93 "hard" failed SPF without a DMARC record since onmicrosoft.com
  doesn't have one. (probably forwarded)

387 "clean" emails were delivered successfully initially, and 151 of those initial delivers were then later retroactively classified as being spam or phishing.

So even at this scale, we're left with a minutia of ~0.01%

  236/22473 ~= 1%

"legitimate" emails, most of which are from misconfigured Exchange Online mailboxes or Office365 groups from various businesses.

So, YMMV widely, but for most organizations, as John said, definitely not going to be missing /too /much. Most of what I see that's legitimate in our traffic would be 3 or 4 specific subdomain additions to a safelist from the hypothetical block rule, and that would be it.
