Re: appearently so: hotmail.com ... again ?!?

We're upgrading our mailservers, during this process, you may see 
intermittant deferrals, refusals, and larger than normal queues. It can 
be mitigated by resending, esp. at offpeak times. We hope to be finished 
and back to normal shortly. Sorry for the hassle.
