In this article, we will teach you how to fix Gmail suspected message issue or Gmail marking email as spam. Status code: 550 5.7.350 Gmail has detected that this message is likely suspicious due to the very low reputation of the sending domain.

550 5.7.350 Gmail has detected that this message is likely suspicious due to the very low reputation of the sending domain. Gmail marking email as spam.

You have a Microsoft 365 tenant, and all the emails sent from Exchange online protection (EOP) are being marked as Spam by Gmail, or the senders of your organization are getting NDR (Non-Delivery Report) saying 550 5.7.350 Gmail has detected that this message is likely suspicious due to the very low reputation of the sending domain.

Why Gmail Marking Email as Spam

When you are sending emails from Microsoft 365 tenants to Gmail servers, these emails are marked as Spam by Gmail servers and are located in the Spam folder of your Gmail mailbox.

Your message to [email protected] couldn’t be delivered.

Gmail.com suspects your message is spam and has rejected it.

Messages suspected as spam

How to Fix It

Try to 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.

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, only the recipient’s email admin can likely fix this problem. Unfortunately, Office 365 Support is unlikely to be able to help fix these kinds of externally reported errors.

When we analyzed the email header (on the recipient side), we found the email was legitimate with SCL value 1 and SFV (spam filtering verdict) with NSPM (Not spam).

When we checked the hops within the email header that was marked as Spam, we discovered that Exchange Online Protection is sending those emails using IPv6 addresses.

For some reason, Gmail servers cannot process these emails and mark legitimate emails as Spam.

It is enabled by default; however, you can select to enable/disable it through a single toggle switch. You should use OneDrive, OneDrive for Business, or SharePoint Online to save your Word file. If you wish to store your files locally, you can use the AutoRecover feature. It saves the files every 10 minutes, even though you don’t need an internet connection.
