GUESS WHAT! Ain't gonna happen. Apparently they got some negative feedback, which means they did a poor job of educating users with legitimate needs on how they could work with the limit.

All it required was correctly configuring your email client. It's not difficult, and MS would tell you how to do it. Your ISP could tell you how to do it. You could find instructions online on how to do it. Instead, you're letting a bazillion spammers slam everyone's inbox because MS won't rate limit how many emails can be spewed forth.

When it comes to Gmail, "...those who need to send more than 5,000 messages per day to Gmail accounts must set up SPF/DKIM and DMARC email authentication for their domains." Basically, users have to make sure their email is configured correctly to identify their domains and have opt-outs within their emails. Their web hosts should be able to do that. Granted, MLM Pat probably doesn't have the skills, but they should be able to hire someone who can. There are LOTS of freelancers out there with the chops.

Sigh.
