Please be advised.....
Apache email and Microsoft's spam filtering systems currently don't mix. This
from an Apache internal site:
There have been ongoing problems with Microsoft domains partly because many of
their users report our legitimate email as spam.
The Infrastructure team have been trying to get the bans removed, but with no
success. At present mails from one of the two ASF outbound servers are being
rejected; i.e. on average 50% of mails will not be delivered.
The following Microsoft domains are all affected (as of August 2021):
* hotmail.com
* live.com
* outlook.com
I have now tried to setup specific mail rules, specific "safe senders" for
apache.org, and nothing seems to prevent many apache emails a day from going
into the Microsoft outlook Junk email folder.
At this point I have requested Apache INFRA to make this problem better known.
The only page I can find discussing it requires an Apache sign-on.
The only workaround is not to use a Microsoft email system for receiving Apache
emails.
Or check your Outlook/Outlook365 Junk Email folder periodically for apache
correspondence.
