Based on the meeting notes, the key takeaways are:
– Some Outlook.com users are experiencing issues with emails being blocked and marked as spam when trying to email Gmail accounts, particularly impacting users with Outlook.com country domains.
– Gmail’s servers are flagging messages as suspicious and blocking them from reaching the recipient’s inbox, due to low domain reputation.
– Microsoft advises impacted users to add an Outlook.com alias to their accounts and email Gmail contacts using that alias as a temporary fix.
– Google has implemented new anti-spam guidelines, blocking emails sent by bulk senders who don’t follow stricter spam thresholds and authenticate their messages as required, with gradual rejection of non-compliant traffic beginning in April 2024 and full enforcement in June.
These takeaways reflect the specific issues impacting Outlook.com users and the temporary fix provided by Microsoft, as well as the upcoming changes related to Google’s new anti-spam guidelines affecting email deliverability to Gmail accounts.
