How are you generating the emails that fail? Is it manually or programmatically.

I have no issues anymore (!) sending emails to either gmail or microsoft from the webmail or using an ipad/iphone. All my emails go through without being flagged as spam or any other errors. However in order to get to this point you need to get on a whitelist with MS as explained below. This does not solve the issue of the mismatch.

The fact is, you are not alone. it may have nothing got to do with your host MOST LIKELY nothing got to do with UCEPROTECT blacklist SCAM your IP address had been used to send undesirable emails to them, by previous owner. It’s not difficult to get unbanned from outlook, you just need to prove you are not a spammer, OR your IP is newly acquired and you were not the spamme…
