As some of you might have noticed, **Microsoft** (owner of hotmail, Outlook, live.com, Office360, etc.) is rejecting all emails originating from **Disroot.org** servers. Once reported to us, we immediately contacted support at **Outlook** as it was not the first time we have been targeted by **MS** (last year for no reason, all emails from **Disroot** were marked as spam) .

**If we fail to get a favourable answer from MS before November 2, we will block all emails from outlook.com, live.com, hotmail.com with reject reason pointing to this blog post**.
Perhaps if their users start asking questions, **Microsoft** will finally review the reasons they have blocked us for - and maybe be so kind to explain it to us - or simply unblock.
