No verification email when trying to reset office.com or live.com password

We've recently had a few problems with older machines they have required a re-installation. However, the newer versions of office are often tied to a users email address and they can never remember the password, so we end up trying to reset the password to re-download office and activate it.

Some of the spam filters that our clients use have been refusing to let the verification emails through - they're just totally disappearing into the ether.

We added @microsoft.com to the spam filter white-list, but this didn't help.

Turns out, you need to add: @account.microsoft.com as this is the domain that Microsoft send password resets from. 

Hopefully it helps someone out
