Just to let you know that we are still chasing the Hotmail/Outlook/Live support desk about these random non-delivery issues to Hotmail addresses. So far their response has been “We were unable to identify anything on our side that would prevent your mail from reaching Outlook.com customers.”
We have reminded them of the IP addresses that are being rejected and that we need them to look into Hotmail delivery issues…
Will update with more info as received. Thanks for your patience.
You can check the status of your IPs there (first you gotta register the IPs of course). You don’t actually need to ask someone if an IP is blocked or not.
Once you detect that an IP is listed in blacklist, then you can request the removal from blacklist through this form.
It is worthy to check also here if your IPs are listed, since Microsoft uses Symantec Brightmail as you already know.
This are the ways we get our IPs removed from their blacklist. Usually it works within 48 hours.
Yes, we are monitoring both SNDS & JMRP and are in constant discussion with Hotmail Sender Support. We are not on any blacklists (except for some guy in Chile) as you can see from MultiRBL.valli.org - Results of the query 178.33.199.69 (change the IP address as required)
