I had to reach out to their technical support (for the outlook.com /
hotmail.com stuff) recently when email from my personal MTA disappeared
into a black hole for ~9 hours.
After about hour 1 or 2 I raised a support request (as a customer) and

Per https://msrc.microsoft.com/report/abuse it appears they would like

Hi Xavier,
If your secondary MX will refuse email with a relaying error, it's not a
valid MX and should be removed from DNS...
This doesn't explain outlook.com favouring it but also, they've pulled
you up on poor configuration. :-)
No point in having an advertised MX that isn't ready for ac
My usual limit is 100MB and then I explain to my users that:
1) That's the _email size limit_ and not the size limit for an attachment to an

2) Email is inefficient when used for transferring files, thus overhead
3) Email is not intended to be a system for routinely moving large files

I think the option of forcing TLS on the wide-wide-internet is a

Michael,
