[Mailman-Users] Microsoft blocking our Mailman lists

[Jayson Smith]

Hi,

Unfortunately, yes, I have seen this behavior from Microsoft. I have no 
idea what triggers it, but my Linode IP has been blocklisted twice, once 
a bit over three years ago, and another time less than two weeks ago.

If you haven't already, try signing up for their Smart Network Data 
Service at https://postmaster.live.com/snds. On the FAQ page there you 
will find a link to submit a delivery support ticket, you can request 
your IP be removed from the blocklist. I have no idea how long your IP 
will stay on their blocklist if you don't request removal. Before 
requesting removal you should probably use some online checkers to 
insure you're not on any other blacklists, check your IP at 
senderscore.org, etc.

The last incident inspired me to move a high-traffic list I run from 
Mailman to Groups.IO.

Hope this helps,

Jayson
