Sending to personal Outlook.com, Hotmail and Live addresses (B2B-only delivery)

Maildoso mailboxes are built for B2B outreach — sending to business addresses on company domains. Mail addressed to personal Microsoft consumer accounts (outlook.com, hotmail.com, live.com and other consumer Outlook domains) is not part of that and is not delivered from Maildoso mailboxes. This is a platform policy, not a reputation problem with your domain.

What you'll see

  • Your sending tool shows the message as sent (the SMTP server accepts it), but the recipient never receives it and you get no bounce.

  • The same mailbox delivers normally to Gmail, Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 business addresses.

  • A test sent to your own personal Outlook.com/Hotmail address never arrives — so don't use one as a seed address for placement tests.

Microsoft 365 business recipients are different

Recipients on their own company domain hosted by Microsoft 365 are B2B recipients and are delivered to. For tips on landing in the inbox at Microsoft business mailboxes, see Landing in the inbox with Outlook and Microsoft recipients.
