If an organization runs a survey in 2024 on whether it should get into AI, then they’ve already bodged an LLM into the system and they’re seeing if they can get away with it. Proton Mail is a priva…

MS will send your mail straight to spam if you do not set up your domain keys and DMARC in DNS correctly and do not have a reject or quarantine RUA or the email(s) in your RUA bounce.
Sometimes you may get temporarily sent to spam if your IP is in a /28 of a known spammer IP.
I’ve never had to ask MS to unblock me and it sure as hell doesn’t take 6 weeks or even 3 days for them to automatically see if everything is right again.
I even set up a non traditional domain with a “non-generic” tld a couple of years ago and I think it was around 16 hours or so before my test emails were hitting outlook inboxes.
Additionally, I think Google still wants SPF setup though it is pretty useless now. And if your RUA was set up right, as I recall, you get an automated email from MS telling you why your mail went to spam (or was rejected), which is the point of it to begin with.
As a tip for next time, if you really want to host your email but you don’t want to put up with dealing with emails being sent to spam boxes, you can just use an SMTP relay/proxy provider. Your email isn’t hosted there but they do send it on and will be the ‘source’ mail server and is going to be much, much, much cheaper than paying someone to host your email for a bunch of users.

That’s about it.
plus the bit where you wait six weeks for a response to your request that they unblock you
none of this process is fucking simple

I guess if it worked for you it’s perfect! Well done.

as a tip for you next time, shut the fuck up when someone with experience tells you you’re giving shit advice
I go have one rare afternoon nap and the (un)professional services posters come out on stage, smdh
oh there’ll definitely be more
My ‘shit advice’ is literally the requirements (and the KB how-to) for the problem they had. No more, no less.
you didn’t bother reading the thread first, did you
