Hotmail Whitelisted {Scanned}

[Derek Winkler]

Look in your whitelist...

From:  *@*tmail.com                       yes

Yep that's it, you probably want another dot in there or something.

I never put in wildcard entries like this, dangerous.

Put in two:

From:   *@*.tmail.com   yes
From: *@tmail.com               yes
