I haven't seen Microsoft IP block bounces on any of the lists I'm
involved with in some time, but I used to have other issues with them.

You need to go to <http://mail.live.com/mail/troubleshooting.aspx>. In
the second paragraph under "Sender services, tools, and issue
submission" you will see "click here to contact support" which goes to
<http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=614866>. Submit that form and be
prepared for an iterative process in which you feel you are dealing with
a robot, but you may ultimately get this fixed.

Also, signing up for "Smart Network Data Services"
<https://postmaster.live.com/snds> and maybe other things from
<https://sendersupport.olc.protection.outlook.com/pm/services.aspx> can
help you keep up with what they think of you.
