In addition, you will see a number of outlook.$countrytld such as outlook.jp, 
outlook.it,
and I think the same applies for hotmail. So basically a metric assload of 
domains
to look out for. Keep in mind that your users will likely have contacts who use
one of those freemail domains for inertia reasons.

No method is guaranteed to be flawless, but the best suggestion I have is to 
take Microsoft's SPF info and go from there. Keep in mind that the info they
publish may vary by region.

If you're lucky enough to have a system with OpenSMTPd within reach, 
'smtpctl spf walk' for a domain will be useful to retrieve that info
(see https://bsdly.blogspot.com/2018/11/goodness-enumerated-by-robots-or.html 
for related musings).

All the best,
Peter
