We've received reports indicating that some users may be unable to send email messages to Outlook.com, Hotmail.com or Live.com email addresses. We're requesting that affected users reach out to their support representatives and provide fresh Network Message IDs, fresh logs, and examples of impact users are facing in .eml format. These logs will aid in the root cause investigation into why impact persists, so we can identify a remediation plan.
