New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: Is there hope for Microsoft 365 support?
Ask HN: Is there hope for Microsoft 365 support?
18 by joaopbnogueira | 6 comments on Hacker News.
The company I work for (25friday.com) has been hit with what seems to be a keyword blacklist on Microsoft 365 email. In short, if we send out any email to clients using Microsoft 365 as their email provider containing the textual content "25friday.com" anywhere on the email subject, body or readable attachment (e.g. pdf) the emails fall on a "blackhole" and are neither bounced nor reaching the recipient (they are not in spam or quarantine either). As you might imagine this is a huge problem for us as email is our primary means of communication with our clients and we need to be careful to never include any mention of our domain in any email we send to them. For recipients using personal Outlook emails, the emails are received and sent to spam with a spam score of 9 (maximum score). We've reached Microsoft support and they seem as clueless as we are. They have no idea why this is happening and they are unable to provide any information or progress on the ongoing issue. This has been going on for about a month now. A few things we have tried: - We have checked our SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records and they are all set up correctly and passing. - We have checked our email sending reputation and it is good as far as we can tell. - We have tried sending emails from different email addresses and domains, but the issue persists. - We have setup our own Microsoft 365 account to be able to submit false-positive reports on the security portal, but the submissions disappear into the void and we never receive any feedback. - We have tried some deliverability testing tools and they all report that our emails are being blocked by Microsoft 365, but not by any other email providers. - We are not on any known/public blacklists Note that we are using Google Workspaces, but that does not seem to be the issue. The domain itself has been live since 2018 (since the company was founded) and we have never had any issues with email deliverability before. We don't send spam or unsolicited emails. The closest I could think of is a mailing list we have with about 300 subscribers containing mostly client emails but also some emails of people we invite to our events. We send out an approximately monthly newsletter to this list, but we have never had any complaints or issues with it before (we're using Pipedrive for that). Tangential but I believe that it might be related: if I set my website address as 25friday.com on my LinkedIn profile, the link gets overwritten to a LinkedIn error page. My guess is that since LinkedIn is owned by Microsoft, they are sharing the same blacklist. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. We're really affected by this and without any recourse to escalate this issue.

New top story on Hacker News: Privacy folks – what's your take on using LLMs at work?
Privacy folks – what's your take on using LLMs at work?

Hey everyone! :wave: I’m building a product called Privacy AI, and I’m trying to learn how people think about data privacy when using AI tools at work — especially in industries like finance, healthcare, or anywhere with sensitive data. If you: - Use tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc. for work - Work in privacy, infosec, compliance, or deal with sensitive data …I’d love to hear how you're handling that today. No pitch, no selling — just looking to learn from real experiences. If you’re open to a quick 20-min chat, drop a comment or shoot me a DM. Really appreciate it

Show HN: I built a Yahoo Messenger-inspired web chat app – pure nostalgia
6 by lakshikag | 5 comments on Hacker News.
I’ve been feeling a bit nostalgic lately, so I decided to build a little web chat app inspired by Yahoo! Messenger. Right now it’s got group chat rooms. Super simple setup, no email required to register. You can create your own room or hop into one that’s already open. Room owners can customize things like backgrounds and even cursors of their room. Users can format their messages with basic markdown like bold, italics, and color texts (kind of like the old Yahoo! days). I even brought back the classic Yahoo! Messenger emoticons because… well, why not? You can try it out here: https://buzzed.chat (Heads up: it's still pretty barebones, so excuse any bugs you might run into!) I'm thinking of adding a few more features next, like: • Audibles • A buddy list so you can add friends • Private chats between buddies Before I keep building, I wanted to check in and see what people think. Anyone else remember using Yahoo! Messenger back in the day? Any features you’d love to see again? Would genuinely love to hear your thoughts and ideas
