How to Fix It

modify your message, or change how you're sending the message, using the guidance in this article: Bulk E-mailing Best Practices for Senders Using Forefront Online Protection for Exchange. Then resend your message.

If you continue to experience the problem, contact the recipient by some other means (by phone, for example) and ask them to ask their email admin to add your email address, or your domain name, to their allowed senders list.

More Info for Email Admins

Status code: 550 5.7.350 When Office 365 tried to send the message to the recipient (outside Office 365), the recipient's email server (or email filtering service) suspected the sender's message is spam. If the sender can't fix the problem by modifying their message, contact the recipient's email admin and ask them to add your domain name, or the sender's email address, to their list of allowed senders. Although the sender may be able to alter the message contents to fix this issue, it's likely that only the recipient's email admin can fix this problem. Unfortunately, Office 365 Support is unlikely to be able to help fix these kinds of externally reported errors.

 Hi Upendra,

Based on the bounce message, Microsoft 365 successfully transmitted the email to Gmail. However, Gmail rejected the message with the error:

550 5.7.1 Gmail has detected that this message is likely suspicious due to the very low reputation of the sending domain.

The message authentication checks (SPF, DKIM, and DMARC) passed within Microsoft 365, indicating that the message was sent successfully from Exchange Online. The rejection was performed by Gmail's filtering system based on the reputation of the sending domain.

As the message you included provide, please contacting your administrator to perform a detailed review of the sending domain's reputation and email authentication configuration. Although the message passed through Microsoft 365 successfully, Gmail's response indicates that the domain itself currently has a low reputation in Google's filtering systems.

The administrator should verify that:

  • SPF records are correctly configured and include all legitimate mail-sending services for the domain.
  • DKIM signing is enabled and aligned with the sending domain, and that recipient systems can successfully validate the DKIM signature.
  • DMARC is properly configured and aligned with both SPF and DKIM to help establish trust with receiving mail systems.
  • No recent changes have been made to the domain's DNS records, mail routing, or outbound email infrastructure that could negatively impact domain reputation.
  • The domain is not listed on any public blocklists and has not been associated with compromised accounts, bulk mail campaigns, or unusually high outbound email volumes.

If the authentication configuration is confirmed to be correct and the issue continues, the administrator should review Google's sender requirements and reputation best practices. In many cases, improving domain reputation involves maintaining consistent sending patterns, ensuring strong authentication, monitoring for abuse, and allowing time for receiving systems to build confidence in the legitimacy of mail sent from the domain.

Because the rejection originated from Gmail's filtering system and not Microsoft 365, Microsoft's ability to influence the delivery outcome is limited. The next steps are therefore focused on improving or validating the sending domain's reputation and ensuring compliance with Google's email sender requirements.

These resources provide guidance on SPF, DKIM, DMARC, domain reputation, spam complaint rates, and other factors that Gmail uses when evaluating incoming messages. Since Gmail's rejection explicitly cites a "very low reputation of the sending domain," reviewing these areas may help identify the cause and improve deliverability to Gmail recipients.
