IP Address: 40.107.243.110 ⚠ IP Confounder

⚠ IP Confounder Detected: Microsoft 365 Exchange Online Protection (EOP)
Outbound; PTR: *.outbound.protection.outlook.com

ℹ️ Network Annotation: Microsoft Network (365 vs Azure)

Differentiating between Office 365, including email protection services, and Azure (public cloud) when diagnosing incidents is challenging because they utilize shared Microsoft-owned IP ranges. Most of this is probably O365/Outlook or Defender protection breaking DKIM and SPF authentication. Disambiguation is a work-in-progress.
