Hi

We have a dedicated mail server (not Microsoft/Exchange) which has issues sending mails to our b2b-customers which uses a Microsoft service for their mail accounts (outlook.com).

Since yesterday all mails are throtteld (log entry anonymized):

Fehler: 451 4.7.500 Server busy. Please try again later from [...]. (S77719) [BE0DEU01FT009.eop-deu01.prod.protection.outlook.com 2023-10-11T13:06:02.927Z 08DBCA4DB698527E]

This happens to different mail-domains which are running through outlook.com.

Things we tried:

  • joined SNDS - everything seems to be good with the ip and amount of mails
  • sender/server IP is not blocked in Anti-Spam database - just throtteld
  • filled out form "Sender Information for Outlook.com Delivery"
  • tried to login to Login the Portal for a mail trace but our live account is not allowd to login in

We did not change anything in the mail server settings.

What can we do now?
