Microsoft Compliance

Microsoft requires high-volume senders to Outlook.com and other consumer addresses to pass SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, with reverse DNS in place. This check grades a domain against those requirements and shows what to fix.

When to use this: Outlook.com or Hotmail is rejecting or junking your mail, or a bounce cites Microsoft sender rules.

Example:
