Microsoft has acknowledged that some Outlook.com users are encountering problems with their emails being blocked and marked as spam when sending to Gmail accounts. The issue affects users with Outlook.com country domains, and Google's mail server is sending notifications to affected users explaining that their messages have been stopped due to suspicions of being spam. Microsoft suggests impacted users add an Outlook.com alias to their accounts as a temporary fix. Google's new anti-spam guidelines are also mentioned, which include stricter measures for bulk senders to improve email deliverability and defend against spam, phishing, and malware.

Microsoft Resolves Outlook Issues, Ensures Smooth Email Search Experience

Microsoft experienced an Outlook.com bug that prevented users from searching their emails, which has since been fixed. However, a more significant issue is a flaw in Teams that allows for the sending of phishing emails and malware to other users. Microsoft has stated that they will not be fixing this flaw and instead encourages users to practice caution when clicking on links or opening unknown files. The flaw can be exploited through a Python-based automated attack called TeamsPhisher, developed by a US Army red teamer, which bypasses security controls and sends malicious attachments to external Teams users.
