Since Monday our emails sent from our domain are either being quarantined or sent to junk when any recipient is in a Microsoft domain. The same is true for emails sent to Outlook.com, hotmial.com etc. We are not having issues sending to Gmail or G-Suite or other domains. We have had the proper DKIM, SPF and DMARC records in place for years now. We don't send spam or bulk emails and we are not appearing on any blacklists. Anyone have an insight as to what could be going on since Monday that would be causing this. It is causing major communication issues with clients.

    If any of your clients have an IT team, in a few clicks they should be able to check the logs and see why the message was flagged.

    You being on the sender end leaves little options for troubleshooting without some recipient colaboration.
