RBL's blocking Microsoft internal and Office365 servers

SalishSwede
I'm finding that my critical contacts can't communicate with me via email due to flagging by RBL's.  After further investigation, it includes those who are using Microsoft email infrastructure: both internal employees and corporate members who have outsourced their email services to Microsoft through Live@edu other other offerings.  It's not only these folks, but blocking these people impacts me the most.

Does anyone have any thoughts on best practices for RBL's or what to tell a CEO when he suggests one's email server [Sophos Gateway] is misconfigured.

Thanks,

~Doug

    it seems they have added a ton of blocklists to their utm..some of them are dubious at best.  I think they either need to build an extensive whitelist OR they need to tone down their anti-spam settings a bit.
