   !security !surveillance Now why does #Microsoft send their Hotmail/Outlook/Live email through the UK Department of Defence? Or is it the UK #DoD that hijacks the emails? Because the SPF rules and DKIM checks fail _before_ the last jump to my server (and Microsoft's servers don't consider it a failure):
   
   authentication-results: spf=softfail (sender IP is 25.152.2.58)
   smtp.mailfrom=hotmail.com; hethane.se; dkim=none (message not signed)
   header.d=none;hethane.se; dmarc=fail action=none header.from=hotmail.com;
   received-spf: SoftFail (protection.outlook.com: domain of transitioning
   hotmail.com discourages use of 25.152.2.58 as permitted sender)
   
   25.152.2.58 is operated by UK DoD.

     @mmn Well ok DKIM fails because it's not signed at all before the last jump, but SPF SoftFail because it for some reason passes through 25.152.2.58 is pretty uneasing.

     @thomask I would've assumed Microsoft configures their SPF rules accordingly or at least get alerted when the rules are broken so stuff can be fixed.
