Many people are asking me to name and shame, so I will do it:
Microsoft. I have been unable to deliver a single email to a Microsoft server in the past five years.
live-dot-com, outlook-dot-com, and any organization using Office 365 as their email server. It goes to /dev/null

I was an engineer at an email service provider for a decade.
I knew something was very wrong when we started hiring deliverability specialists who didn't work in engineering.
Why? Their job was relationship building & professional networking with ISPs & spam blocker providers.
