Unfortunately we have not been so lucky. Dozens of calls and we are still down. No one at Microsoft seems to care.
Do you happen to have a MS description of what they did to resolve your issue or a ticket # I can share with support?
I could maybe understand this run around if this was a small company, but they have nearly 100 users. I can not believe the lack of support we are getting.
I'm sorry to hear that. You have to be persistent and point them to this post and ask for an escalation.
Unfortunately, I am unable to provide the ticket number due to the privacy of the client. However, this is what was communicated by the person who got ahold of someone at Microsoft after 8 hours of total time with their support staff. They also had to make sure they had the appropriate SPF/DKIM/DMARC records in-place before they would even consider looking further.
Basically, there are third-party lists that scan sites looking for phishing stuff, they had found domain name to be a part of that.
They are working on clearing off the domain from those lists, and while that’s being done Microsoft is clearing the domain from the watchlist at the moment.
It should take a couple of hours for it all to propagate and take effect, and he will be calling me when it’s all done.

Thank Jordan. We have several tickets open two of which have been escalated. We provided the link to this thread with no luck. We have ~30 hours into this client and MS support now.
Seems like your luck is better than ours lol. I will keep my fingers crossed that the description provided helps but it's pretty much what we already told them.

That really sucks, trying to get past the first line of support is the hardest.
As long as you have the headers stating the category, it should pretty straight forward to resolve. It's just trying to get someone from support who actually understands what needs to happen or have them escalate it to someone that knows.
I'm going to post this resolution to Reddit just-in-case MS decides to lock this thread or delete it.
It's a shame that support can't understand their own technology stack to identify and issue and provide some sort of resolution. This type of process resolution has been in place with other vendors like PaloAlto, Fortinet and Sophos for years.- EmailIssuesJan 28, 2020Copper Contributor
Update: They finally did it!
Here is the text from MS if anyone needs it to point support in the right direction.
Hi ****,
Hope all is well. My name is *** from Office 365 Next Team,
We received an escalation request with regards to your issue on spam emails. After further investigation www[.]**********[.]com was listed as a phish URL, it appears the site may have at one time been compromised but is no longer. We have properly delisted it. Can you please check if your emails are still ending into spam/junk folder?
Thank you,***
Office 365 Next Team
