hi team,
I have a campaign to send bulk emails for recipients using Office 365. ( Thousands per hour/day). Can i know what is my limit before the user get blocked?
and if the user is blocked and i went and unblock it, will I be entitled to send again automatically or i have to wait for some time? and will the same user be blocked again if I am sending bulk emails.

100% agree with the correct answer provided by Vasil. Note the image below from the "sending limits" section of the article he provided.

As of yesterday, our organization is now being blocked after sending out an email to 105 external recipients. This is getting ridiculous...still investigating but the user was blocked until our administrators were able to remove the block. These aren't mass mail-outs...
Don't. While the Exchange Online limits allow for up to 10000 recipients per day, that does not apply to bulk scenarios. Not only the user(s) will be blocked, you risk your entire tenant's mail flow being restricted. Use a tool that specializes in marketing/bulk campaigns instead.
can you please advise on how to differentiate between both scenarios?
bulk and the 1000 recipients per day.
if i can send email for 1000 recipients per day, isnt that considered as bulk emails?
If you are sending messages in automated manner, and only changing minor parts of the message itself, you are more than likely to fall into the bulk message scenario. Microsoft does not disclose the exact criteria used, as this will allow you to bypass them. But if you want to be on the safe side and avoid being blacklisted, best avoid using O365 for this.
Hi @eg1995 ，
Totally agree with both Vasil and Ash that it's not recommended to send bulk emails from Office 365. Below is some more information from official blog for reference:
Microsoft does not recommend sending bulk messages from Office 365, as organizations are often blocked for exceeding the allowed limit (see Exchange Online limits). Instead, send bulk email through on-premises email servers or use a third-party bulk email provider, which normally has a vested interest in working with customers to ensure good email sending practices.

to address bulk email sending and still use our enterprise exchange subscription, is it possible that we get another domain to be used for sending those bulk emails?
ex.
@companyA.com < which will be used by the users within the organization and business correspondences
@companyAplus.com < will be used by department A for their business requirement to send those bulk emails.
@Amore.companyA.com < will be used by another department B for their own business requirement to send their own bulk emails.
