Microsoft Office 365 Safelinks is flagging Constant Contact Blasts as Malicious

Hey community, it looks like Office 365 Safelinks is flagging Constant Contact Blast Links as Malicious as shown in the picture, I was hoping we could come together and get Microsoft or Constant Contact to get Microsoft to remove Constant Contact from the global domain blocklist, supposedly per a Microsoft rep  "as long as constant contact supplies Microsoft with the information they request it should be removed pretty quickly."

We are experiencing the same issue and have been for a few days. Multiple users have emailed us with screenshots of the links. It CERTAINLY has to do with the tracking link, because whenever we have disabled tracking in our emails, our users don't experience the same issues. In reading about ATP, it may have to do with the fact that the tracking service is altering the original, safe links. We know this because when we send our links through normal email providers, our users have no problems opening them. 

 

Please add us to the list to be notified when this is resolved.

Hey @JordanM562 and @VillagesNews,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us! You both will be notified when the issue is resolved. We appreciate your patience.

Please notify us when this is resolved.  I did another test today and didn't get the warning, so perhaps it is?  Here's hoping - thanks!

Has this issue been resolved? Please provide an update. 

Our IT dept worked with directly with Microsoft and whitelisted www.constantcontact.com in their Advanced Threats detection. The "Mail to" and  "from" there is no longer be blocked.

Hope this helps!

Kind regards,

Leslie

Our organization did this as well but it's more of a work-a-round. The 'r20.rs6.net' URL has been referenced in phishing emails in the past and we'd prefer to not leave it permanently white-listed. 

@MikeF4652 and @innercityarts,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us! You have both been added to the list for follow up when this has been resolved, so that you don't have to implement a workaround permanently. Thank you both for your patience.

At least 18 days and counting.  Unacceptable.

It sounds as though the issue is supposed to be resolved? I have yet to receive any communication stating so.
