Microsoft Corporate Postmaster Contact?
A client of ours is having an issue receiving mail from microsoft.com's corporate servers. Does anyone by chance have a contact for their postmaster? Thanks, Ken -- Ken Simpson, CEO MailChannels Corporation Reliable Email Delivery (tm) http://www.mailchannels.com
Ken, This may not be much of a help, but can be a good resource for data when dealing with mail issues regarding MS. https://postmaster.live.com/snds/index.aspx Of course, you need a Valid MSN "passport" for registration. . . . . sigh. . . .

sigh...? Sign up for a free Windows Live Mail (Hotmail) account, and bingo, you have a Passport login.

I don't think it should ever be acceptable to have to 'sign up' to report a security/network problem. Steve Sobol wroteth on 12/18/2006 3:10 PM:

You don't. That's not what SNDS is. It's a feedback loop sort of thing, a la scomp (and not at all relevant to the original posters question, I don't think, but without more information, who can say?).

Apples and oranges -- this isn't signing up to report a security issue. SNDS is Microsoft provindg you data regarding what they can see about your IPs sending mail to Microsoft's networks. It certainly appears to be optional. If you are an ISP or somebody else sending any sort of significant amount of mail, it can be very useful. I've found it quite helpful. In theory, the point of registration is to track which data is given to whom, to prevent abuse. When/if you choose to apply, somebody at a published network administrator address will be sent an email requesting permission to give the registered user access to the data.

That's not what SNDS is for. "Welcome to Smart Network Data Services Windows Live Mail Postmaster is proud to introduce Smart Network Data Services as a brand new way to fight spam--part of a larger and ongoing effort to be an active participant in the email community. By providing mail traffic data, as seen by all the domains hosted by Windows Live Mail and Hotmail, to IP block owners (ISPs, in a broad sense), organizations are empowered to prevent spam from originating from their IP space. Together, we can all do our part to take back email from the spammers. For more details, please see our Frequently Asked Questions page." I came in in the middle of the discussion, and haven't read the top of the thread yet, but if you're looking to resolve security issues, SNDS is not the place to go. -- Steve Sobol, Professional Geek ** Java/VB/VC/PHP/Perl ** Linux/*BSD/Windows Victorville, California PGP:0xE3AE35ED It's all fun and games until someone starts a bonfire in the living room.

It probably would NOT help wrt issues with Microsoft corporate email. And not sending mail *TO* msn .. the guy is apparently having issues receiving mail from there and wants a contact to troubleshoot stuff at their end. In short, not your typical deliverability question. -srs
