Office365 support incompetant - All emails marked as spam due to hyperlinks in email siganture
- Jul 29, 2019
Hello all,
This thread has come to my attention. Let me fix some misconceptions:
Office 365 absolutely does scan messages "on the way out". This is done to protect our IP reputation. If a message is deemed spammy, then it will be marked as spam and sent out via a special pool of IPs. This pool of IPs has questionable reputation and we do not attempt to maintain their reputation. We do absolutely monitor the reputation of our good IP addresses - so much so that I'm fairly certain that is not an issue here.
Most often, I do see false positives happening when someone creates an automated email signature with links in them. A false positive requires a spam rule to be adjusted on our side. This is simple -
1) First report the problem in Submissions Explorer
2) If not getting headway, open a ticket - we just need the samples with the full headers showing what happened so that our engineering team can correct the rule. It is an easy fix - if you're not getting the help you need from the support, point them to this post as guidance.
I apologize for any inconvenience.
Regards,
Scott
In short:
I'm sending an email without a hyperlink through smtp.office365.com and it arrives in the O365 inbox.
I'm sending the same email but this time with a hyperlink and it arrives in the spam folder with a SCL of 5.
I have absolutely no idea why it gets a SCL of 5. The only difference is the hyperlink (which links to my domain).
Anyone out there who can solve this challenge?
Best regards,
Kurt
KurtSantele provide message traces and mail analysis to Microsoft and create a case with them.
with clear examples they should be able to put your domain on a safe list.
for some reason your domain got on the black list (manually or AI) at microsoft
- Kevinr1790Aug 16, 2023Copper ContributorThis has just happened to us also, I logged several tickets with Microsoft over 6 days ago, i have provided them Extended message traces, Headers, 4 Remote sessions, 3 url submissions and over 1000 email submissions yet the issue still persists, users are reverting to gmail as they cant guarantee their emails are arriving with clients its killing us as a business.
It took them 4 days to come back with what i showed them about the URL detonation on the first session, I have also provided all the links to online posts where others have the same issues.
Microsoft have as yet to admit such blacklists even exist.- kvermeuAug 17, 2023Copper Contributor
Kevinr1790 keep pushing...
if possible get your account manager involved to revert your case to 2nd or 3rd line
