Re: messg spam from my office email to yahoo
NLart glad to see you found a workaround. My first thought is that the IP of your website must be better than Microsoft's, but that's an interesting data point about emailing from att to yahoo and it ending up in the spam. It seems like probably yahoo and microsoft both have something they could learn here. I kept thinking MS reputation was the issue since that's the clear error we get when some emails fail to charter.net. Our emails going through smtp2go are dkim signed from both MS and smtp2go and making it into the inbox. I didn't test not signing messages from Microsoft. I'm with you, I'm kind of over troubleshooting this problem when no one at Microsoft or Yahoo seems to care. It's unfortunate!5.9KViews0likes0CommentsRe: messg spam from my office email to yahoo
It seems like until someone at Microsoft wakes up and fixes their reputation or whatever else is causing this issue, we are all stuck in the middle of the end users complaining their emails aren't getting delivered and hoping the recipients will add the sender to their address book (which kind of works). Has anyone found a reputable smtp relay service that is compatible with 365/Exchange Online? I had thought I'd just route outbound mail through SendGrid till this gets resolved, but that requires a password on the send connector and I'm not aware of any way to specify a password on the send connector with Exchange online. I suppose the problem with a service that works without a password is that in theory is a quasi open relay and it would take anything from your domain and deliver it. If that service was more basic and didn't touch the email, DKIM signing from MS should continue to work to differentiate legitimate from illegitimate email, I think.5.5KViews0likes12CommentsRe: messg spam from my office email to yahoo
NLart, please keep us posted if SendGrid is able to support this, as they told me they don't have any possibility to accept a connection without credentials. The alternate way is to connect my "application" with Zapier. If someone from SendGrid is reading this, see ticket 8823518. As you mentioned these smtp relay services were setup to send messages from applications, not a full scale smtp smarthost. Of everyone I reached out to, smtp2go had the best response and gave me an immediate solution. Proofpoint or something is certainly an option as well, but likely at additional per user costs. We've used services like that in the past, but have been trying to get all in on 365. However, if Microsoft doesn't even care to address a huge problem like email deliverability, it does make you wonder if we are moving in the correct direction.5KViews0likes2CommentsRe: messg spam from my office email to yahoo
profputr To me it seems the reputation of Microsofts servers has gone down the crapper. While yahoo is the most prevalent issue, we have had flat out bounces to Spectrum. While this is a pain, it's somewhat more useful because it at least tells you why and you know your message won't get read. Reason: [{LED=550 5.1.0 sender rejected. Please see https://www.spectrum.net/support/internet/understanding-email-error-codes for more information. AUP#In-1310};{MSG=};{FQDN=mx0.charter.net};{IP=47.43.18.9};{LRT=6/12/2022 6:49:37 PM}]. OutboundProxyTargetIP: 47.43.18.9. OutboundProxyTargetHostName: mx0.charter.net From Charter: Spectrum limits the number of concurrent connections from a sender, as well as the total number of connections allowed. Limits vary based on the reputation of the IP address. Reduce your number of connections and try again later. At Yahoo, even when you add a sender to your address book, the message that comes through will say they think it is spam, but because the sender is in your contacts they left it in the inbox. If you change nothing but the IP address the message is coming from, i..e a non Microsoft IP, the message is delivered. It seems that Microsoft has let too much spam get sent and Yahoo is the most vocal (by silently treating it all as spam). Charter it seems to vary based on the IP as you can't seem to predict if a message will get through or not. I would think someone somewhere at Microsoft would be monitoring the reputation of their sending IPs and be able to see what has changed.4.8KViews0likes0CommentsRe: messg spam from my office email to yahoo
I did find a service that it seems possible to route outbound mail through to solve the delivery problem to yahoo and others, at least until MS fixes this. The issue is that because MS doesn't allow any kind of authentication on the connectors, you're going to somewhat open yourself to signing mail that might not be legitimate if someone determines the correct information. That being said, if you're desperate for a workaround in the meantime, check out smtp2go. They will allow you to whitelist specific sender addresses and then they will act as an open relay for that mail. (After you go through the proper setup, authenticate the domain, etc.) Most services won't seem to work as they want some way to authenticate the email with IP or password.5.2KViews0likes6CommentsRe: messg spam from my office email to yahoo
That is a good step to take, but doesn't solve the problem. The next email will still be in spam. I'm afraid you're not actually pushing a solution, but instead a place you can paste your link that is not related to this problem at all.7KViews0likes0CommentsRe: messg spam from my office email to yahoo
I just spent an hour on the phone with Microsoft after opening a ticket (##31187061) and they looked over everything in our samples and just kept saying that it has to be a problem on the recipients side. They acknowledged that unless they are getting lots of tickets for problems with deliverability, it isn't going to get escalated to a team to really do anything about it. Our users are complaining about emails to gmail/google today too. The advice I got from the tech was to open a ticket and submit feedback through the feedback button in the admin portal for EACH tenant individually to try and raise awareness of an issue. Hopefully anyone else coming across this who is having problems will take the time to open a ticket too!16KViews1like26CommentsRe: messg spam from my office email to yahoo
This has consumed my entire week so far and I haven't been able to find enough other people reporting issues, but I'm hearing it from multiple 365 clients. It seems worst to Yahoo, but we are still seeing intermittent issues with email blocked to charter.net too.16KViews0likes27CommentsRe: Database no longer shareable
Microsoft has updated https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/error-in-access-when-opening-a-database-on-a-network-file-share-6cbc1560-62c2-46e7-9980-d079a46f5acc and now says: Important: Currently, the applied fix only addresses standard UNC paths. Our team is currently working on a fix for the following network paths: DFS-N Short file names Mapped drives Hard links, Junctions and Symbolic links9.9KViews0likes2CommentsRe: Database no longer shareable
It seems that Microsoft believes this was fixed in version Version 2102 (Build 13801.21092), but we continue to experience the problem and have had to roll back to Version 2102 (Build 13801.21050). Is anyone else still having this issue? I'm trying group policy to deny the 21092 version and force the 21050 version and have manually rolled the workstations back.11KViews0likes3Comments
