*Microsoft announced new requirements for high-volume email senders (over 5,000 messages/day) to implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, with enforcement starting May 5, 2025 (messages from non‑compliant domains will be routed to Junk initially and rejected later). The policy applies to Outlook.com consumer domains (hotmail.com, live.com, outlook.com) and Microsoft also recommended sender hygiene practices such as valid From/Reply‑To addresses, clear unsubscribe links, list hygiene, bounce management, and transparent mailing practices.*
