Here is one of the yahoo error message: 1/12/2024 9:27:16 PM - Server at SJ2PR02MB10076.namprd02.prod.outlook.com returned '550 5.4.300 Message expired -> 421 4.4.2 Connection dropped due to SocketError' 1/12/2024 9:26:15 PM - Server at mta5.am0.yahoodns.net (67.195.204.73) returned '421 4.4.2 Connection dropped due to SocketError'

And here is the aol error message: 1/12/2024 9:27:38 PM - Server at PH0PR02MB7367.namprd02.prod.outlook.com returned '550 5.4.300 Message expired -> 421 4.4.2 Connection dropped due to SocketError'

    Even after updating DMARC DKIm and SPF if the issue persist then its because of

    Hi again Brad,

    Thanks a lot for looking at this.

    Below I've posted a print screen after logging into Jimdo (my website) where I created email forwarding from hotmail.fr to my first name AT soulsoundyoga.be or FIRST NAME AT domain name . be (in case the real domain name is deleted for security).

    I have had endless and useless backwards and forwards with Jimdo and have begged them to phone me to speak with a human. No humans available.

    However, back to your first point, I don't use Jimdo to read mail but just for my website and as a domain name for my hotmail account.

    Does this clarify anything?

    Many thanks indeed

    Fiona

    Please confirm a few other things -

    You read your email in the Outlook Desktop App? (if not, how do you read your email, if outlook, do you know what version of outlook you use)

    All the email that you send out comes from your soulsoundyoga.be email account, correct?

    You also have a hotmail acocunt, this forwards to your soulsoundyoga.be email account, correct?

    Do you only have the 1 @soulsoundyoga.be email address or do you have multiple?

    Do you have the ability to create an additional @soulsoundyoga.be email address, or would that cost more money?

    I think we just need to get a DMARC record created, so that is why all the questions.

    From what I can tell on the internet, soulsoundyoga.be is not hosted in the M365 cloud. It appears to use jimdo.com for email and DNS services. Your email address was removed from the post, but as long as it ends in soulsoundyoga.be, I don't need it. If it ends in a different domain, please post that domain.

    Jimdo.com might be the people who host your website, or could be a previous host that you never transferred DNS from. Regardless, they have control over your DNS, so that is the company you need to work with (or log into). If you can figure out how to log into the account,, then we can run additional checks to determine if you are M365 hosted for email or not.

    I think this is clearer

    selector1-<CustomDomain>-com._domainkey.<CustomDomain>.onmicrosoft.com
    selector2-<CustomDomain>-com._domainkey.<CustomDomain>.onmicrosoft.com

    Assuming your domain name ends with .com, replace <CustomDomain> with your domain name (without the .com)

    Quickest way to get to DKIM settings: https://security.microsoft.com/authentication?viewid=DKIM

    The problem is GoDaddy and other discount resellers don't follow that format. Also, I had a customer that used midpack for their domain, but that was taken for Microsoft, so their OnMicrosoft custom domain is different (midwestpack.onmicrosoft.com)

    For Laura's, because she is a discount reseller customer, her custom domain is - NETORG11853100.onmicrosoft.com
