Agreed, it seems to be deliberate to get people moved over to the big providers, they are clearly discouraging independent email servers as they clearly scored differently.
I have even been doing tests on various spare unused ip's and the amount that get blocked by microsoft (but no other providers) is unreal. Also to mention their own outlook software part of office, if I even set low level filtering, it has insane levels of false positives.
