[PLUG] Mail rejected - advice to resolve?

[Scott Bigelow]

When I ran an e-mail server for a small company, MSN/Hotmail/Outlook was
the worst for actually receiving e-mails. Even though we never sent spam,
we had to go through this whole approval process, mostly tied to the IP.
Periodically, we fell off for no reason and had to reapply, messages being
rejected for days at a time. We ended up creating a postfix transport that
relayed messages destined for those domains through Amazon SES, with all
others going directly to the destination mail server..
