I wanted to see if other followers have heard any chatter about Microsoft
incorrectly classifying hard bounces for other providers/customers. We've
been trying to get to the root cause of why they could be creating so many
false positives for our platform over the past few weeks.

Final-Recipient: rfc822; (*taken out for confidentially*)@hotmail.com
Action: failed
Status: 5.4.0

By the RFC they should be at least including a diagnostic code, but they
are not, this is from a full header to note as well.

Final-Recipient: rfc822;(*taken out for confidentially*)@hotmail.com
Action: failed
Status: 5.0.0 (undefined status)
Remote-MTA: dns;mx3.hotmail.com (65.55.33.135)
Diagnostic-Code: smtp;554 Transaction failed
X-PowerMTA-BounceCategory: other

Essentially all we got back from Microsoft was that "this should be
classified as a soft bounce in your system": No help since we knew that.
We've since reclassified that bounce as well as this bounce below:

Final-Recipient: rfc822; (*taken out for confidentially)*@hotmail.com
Action: failed
Status: 5.5.4
Diagnostic-Code: smtp;501 5.5.4 Invalid arguments


We've seen this occuring at Hotmail, Live.com <http://live.com/> and
Outlook.com <http://outlook.com/>. I'm not looking for a golden ticket from
anyone, but I wanted to see if fellow Deliverability professionals are
seeing these kind of problems from Microsoft domains. We're just left
scratching our heads as we try to fight these fires for our customers both
the deliverability team and engineers.

Has anyone else been having these problematic issues with Microsoft
domains?

Thanks,
