Back on 4 March, I logged the following in the Microsoft Community Support forums, which appears to be the only way to report an actual issue:
Recipient address rejected: Access denied
Randomly, when I am sending an email from my Hotmail (Windows Live Private Domain) account to a specific address, I am getting an immediate bounce from a Hotmail server saying "Delivery to the following recipients failed":
Reporting-MTA: dns;bay0-omc3-s27.bay0.hotmail.com Received-From-MTA: dns;BAY150-DS16 Arrival-Date: Sun, 3 Mar 2013 13:27:51 -0800
Final-Recipient: rfc822;*** Email address is removed for privacy *** Action: failed Status: 5.7.1 Diagnostic-Code: smtp;554 5.7.1 *** Email address is removed for privacy ***: Recipient address rejected: Access denied
This email is not even making it to the destination mail server and I can send to these same addresses immediately afterwards from other non-Hotmail accounts. Any idea what is causing this and how this can actually be reported to someone at Hotmail/Outlook.com
To date, I've had no replies to this post whatsoever, although a moderator has removed the domain details (I had already fudged the actual email address anyway) following my original post. Anyone have any idea how and where to report this, so that it gets taken notice of?
