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,

This may not be much of a help, but can be a good resource for data when
dealing with mail issues regarding MS.

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. Hardly a show-stopper.

I don't think it should ever be acceptable to have to 'sign up' to report a security/network problem.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
