We've talked to Hotmail before, they've acknowledged they're > having problems... Sadly still true. A few helpful hints we've been giving people: - make sure your MTA isn't latching onto just one MX, or just one IP address within each MX record; - things clear up overnight & on weekends, though I'm sure that'll change once word gets out; - don't send (or relay, or forward) spam. I'll post another update if anything changes. (Disclaimer again: this is from my personal account; I do work for Hotmail, and I'm directly involved with inbound mail, but I'm not the escalation path you're looking for.) -- J.D.
