Trying to find help for 550 5.7.511 Access denied, banned sender
I run a mail server for many business clients of mine. Microsoft have blocked our IP address, so we cant send to Office365 email addresses. I get a bounce back saying:
host cr-studio.mail.protection.outlook.com[104.47.21.36]
said: 550 5.7.511 Access denied, banned sender[12.34.56.78]. To request
removal from this list please forward this message to delist [at] messaging.microsoft.com. For more information please go to

[LO2GBR01FT022.eop-gbr01.prod.protection.outlook.com] (in reply to RCPT TO
command)
(I have changed my server IP above)
So I emailed delist[at]messaging.microsoft.com but they said:
"I do not see anything offhand that would be preventing your mail from reaching our customers for the following IP : (12.34.56.78)"
And gave me various links to pages with different support channels. One of them was to login to admin.microsoft or something, but I cant do that as I dont have an account.
One of them was contact Microsoft support and they said its not to do with them, contact Office365.
So I filled in a form on sender.office365.com and they replied:
"The IP address in question is not currently blocked in our system. Please refer to the email message you received from Microsoft and follow the steps it suggests." - which I have done, with the first email above!
I also filled in the form for emailing Live, Hotmail, Outlook.com and got no reply but dont think its to do with them.
So I am very confused at the moment with all the different support channels, various Microsoft support telling me they cant see a reason for the block and then doing no more about it.
I have no idea what the correct channel is and how to fix this, does anyone know? Its a bit of a shambles Microsofts side of it to be honest.

- timbertensCopper ContributorDid anybody see some progress in this? At our side IP's are still blocked and no reaction from Microsoft

I have a Microsoft support engineer helping me. He emails and calls often. So itâs good there is someone BUT I donât understand why they canât find the problem. He keeps asking for me âtry againâ but itâs not fixed. They canât see my IP in a blocklist. Itâs very strange but also unbelievable no one at Microsoft can find the reason. Weâre on the 3rd day of blocks now and due to Christmas I doubt itâs a priority for them.
- suportecwCopper ContributorWe have the same problem!
We can't send mails to Microsoft 365 Exchange, but Outlook.com, live.com, hotmail.com, it's ok!- timbertensCopper Contributor
suportecw We have the same problem too. I've requested delisting via the website but it responds there is no listing for the involved IP. Next try is send the error message to mailto:Email address removed -> but according to the automated response it can take up to 24h
MS found a great way to increase their marketshare it appears ...
