Still having EMAIL Failure sending out to some
Here is a response from the IT for our local County Government Offices when my emails to them, keep getting kicked back and not going through:
Good morning,
In regards to the above ticket, it looks like the actual issue is likely on Darmstadt-indiana.org’s side, however the emails are being blocked by our mail filter because of those problems. We have reason to suspect based on the mail header coming in that their email server has been somehow compromised and our email filter has blocked their email for intent, which is this case is intent to spread ransomware. From a quick look, it looks like their email is relaying through an outside email server known to be involved in the spread of the Emotet ransomware variant that targeted banks and financial institutions a couple years back.
We CAN allow these messages through the filter but any links or attachments would be considered highly suspect and could likely pose a threat to our network. Since we seem to have no issue emailing out to them, I would suggest forwarding this message to their clerk to have their IT investigate this matter.
Let me know if you need anything further on this matter, thanks!

Hello,
If this is a government email that you're experiencing issues sending to, you may need to add a DKIM:
