So I'm back, because I'm getting absolutely no where with Outlook Support.

Here is a log of the SMTP transaction:

--SNIP--
# telnet hotmail-com.olc.protection.outlook.com 25

550 5.7.1 Unfortunately, messages from [67.222.128.248] weren't sent. Please 
contact your Internet service provider since part of their network is on our 
block list (S3150). You can also refer your provider to 
http://mail.live.com/mail/troubleshooting.aspx#errors. 
[SN1NAM02FT029.eop-nam02.prod.protection.outlook.com]

The error message does say to "contact your ISP since part of their network is on our block list" and it didn't say your IP address is on their block list.

As mentioned in our previous response, we do not see anything offhand with the 
IP (67.222.128.248) that would be preventing your mail from reaching our 
customers.

Ok yes, being inordinately nitpicky, but if you take the MS responses verbatim, they also said they don't see any problem with your specific IP address which could still be true if the problem is with your upstream.

In fact, if I look up a Sender Score for this IP I get:

Insufficient Email Seen

I just don't see anything that points to any reason why this IP would be 
blacklisted.  My guess would be that it's a relatively new IP address that 
Microsoft is seeing as sending messages, and thus it's being punished for 
having no reputation.

The MS error is clear in what is saying. As many as the MS errors are, I would expect a different error for insufficient reputation.

But that's just a guess on my part because Microsoft seems unwilling to explain 
in adequate terms - instead just giving a broad response.

I have some deadwood entries in a block list here dating back to 2010 (yes they need to be pruned out) for IP ranges that used to be listed as being under Tailor Made Servers, now listed as DFW Datacenter. I'm not currently experiencing problems from those ranges but Talos / Senderbase currently shows some trouble in DFW's 209.236.112.0/20. Maybe MS has some correspondingly old entries that are giving you trouble with your address in 67.222.128.0/19 because of the DFW association.

If you're getting connectivity through DFW and you're having trouble it's possible that others are having trouble through them also. Would seem like a good idea to escalate through them as well.
