Some emails may bounce or be delayed due to Microsoft IP addresses appearing on the SenderScore blocklist. If you are experiencing this issue, you can resolve it by safelisting Microsoft's sending IP addresses at the mailbox level: 1. Go to cp.rackspace.com > Domains > Spam settings > Safelists 2. Select your domain 3. Add the following IP ranges: 52.102.%.% 40.107.%.% 52.101.%.% 52.103.%.% We are actively working with our partners to determine if fleet-wide mitigations can be applied.
