Microsoft to eventually block emails from unsupported, end-of-life, on premises Exchange servers

Xor

I have just seen https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2023/03/28/exchange-online-blocking-emails-from-vulnerable-servers/ and thought I'd bring it to peoples attention in case if affects anyone here.

1. Stop releasing / supporting self-hosted Exchange;
2. All on-prem servers become unsupported;
3. Block their users' emails, suggesting to move to the monthly Exchange cloud subscription;
   ...
4. PROFIT!!!

This is only going to be a good thing. So many organisations have dragged their feet on upgrading on-prem exchange servers.

Sure, you can bitch and moan about MSFT blocking whatever, but honestly if you're running Exchange 2007 still, you deserve what you get.
