Contact Microsoft's support to request an exception for the low reputation IP address / instance until you're able to purchase licenses. They usually do it within a day. This issue can only be managed with Microsoft, there's nothing MailReach can do on our end.

How to contact Microsoft's support online
Sign in to Microsoft 365 admin center
On the left panel, select Support > Help and support
In the "How can we help" field, copy / paste the following: 5.7.708 Access denied, traffic not accepted from this IP

Example message you can send to Microsoft's support :
Hi,
I'm having email bounce notification with the following error "550 5.7.708 Service unavailable. Access denied, traffic not accepted from this IP".
It looks like we've been assigned a low reputation IP but we are not doing anything wrong in terms of practices, we have a brand new Office365 tenant. We don't understand at all why we are having having these error messages
Could you please fix this low reputation IP issue so we can send emails to our recipients?
Best,
This message occurs when too much spam or bulk mail has been sent by your organization and Microsoft places a block on outgoing mail.
Common causes are compromised on-premises servers or compromised admin accounts that have been used to create connectors. Either condition can allow spam to pass through your organization.
To remove this block, you need to understand and explain the cause to a support agent, as well as correct the underlying problem.
In rare cases, this could also happen if you renew your subscription after it has already expired. It takes time for the service to sync the new subscription information (typically, no more than one day), but your organization could be blocked from sending email in the meantime. The best way to prevent this is to make sure your subscription does not expire.
The error occurs when a large volume of messages is sent from domains that aren't provisioned in Office 365 (added as accepted domains and validated).
In most cases, the connectors are set up correctly, but email is being sent from unregistered (also known as unprovisioned) domains. Office 365 allows a reasonable amount of email from unregistered domains, but you should configure every domain that you use to send email as an accepted domain.
Most common solution: Add and validate all domains in Microsoft 365 or Office 365 that you use to send email messages.
Use a certificate-based outbound connector where the certificate's domain is an accepted and validated domain in Microsoft 365 or Office 365.
Look for unusual connectors and compromised accounts. Attackers will often create new inbound connectors in your Microsoft 365 or Office 365 organization to send spam.
If you don't find error messages / bounce notification, the most common fix is to contact Microsoft support to request an exception for the low reputation IP address / instance. They usually do it within a day. This issue can only be managed with Microsoft, there's nothing we can do on our end.
