This is not unique to Microsoft and really the source's problem — they did something to get blocked in the first place.

Add in the fact that you're almost certainly not the only one impacted, and that they have no interest in fixing it, it screams incompetence on the source's part.

Till the day GMail hits you with the "We couldn't verify it's you" bullshit and locks you out of your account forever. Good luck getting support from Google, the word is not in their lexicon.

I've never encountered this issue with GMail. Delivery just works.

This is also true of Microsoft though.
