MSN Blocks My E-mails again...
2nd time in 6 months..
I dont even use the mass email at all so this can only be down to members watched items.
No errors or notice that this was happening,
but a few new registrations were complaining that
they had not received there verification e-mail.
They blocked all associations,
being sent from my server. .co.uk .com etc..

and that goes something like this.
Hello,
We see that you do have SPF/SenderID records, which does positively impact the reputation of the sending IP. We reviewed your SPF record and note that it terminates with ?all. To maximize deliverability we recommend changing it to -all. You may also wish to reference RFC 4406, "Sender ID: Authenticating E-Mail", which defines the Sender ID specification. It is available at:
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4406.txt At this time in our investigation, we strongly recommend enrolling in the Junk Mail Reporting Partner Program (JMRP).
This program is a long-term solution that we offer as recourse for senders who have been blocked because of Junk Mail Reporting (JMR) by Hotmail Customers. Enrollment in this program will benefit you as a sender as it will keep your e-mail lists updated and populated with interested MSN Hotmail Customers. Participation in this program will remove those MSN Hotmail Customers who do not want to receive e-mails from your company.
Please be aware that this is not a 'Safelist.' If your company's sending IP continues to exceed the allowable number of complaints it could be blocked again. This program is not nor is intended to be a solution for blocks initiated by our SmartScreen or Brightmail Spam filters.
I hope that you will investigate joining this program. I believe that it will offer a valuable service to our mutual Hotmail customers.

So now ive registered on that program and await a reply with in 24hrs.
I got the first reply within 2hrs of filling in the form.
Its now been 12hrs since i first reported it and 2 hrs since joining the program and my forum e-mails are still not getting to hot mail, or live accounts.
I will test it again in the morning, but ive been blocked by my ip so if there was anyone else on
my server they would also encounter the same problem.
I have had this previously and it all came good after 24 hrs.
What a pain in the ass and something to be aware of folks.
They recommended this change. Is it a Threads thing or a server thing? (See above email).
We reviewed your SPF record and note that it terminates with ?all.
To maximize deliverability we recommend changing it to -all. Thanks for any help or advice.
