That happens to be you log. Not the one from hotmail.
If you want to be sure then use tcpdump or WireShark to track the messages.

 (I have seen reference to Hotmail and SPF problems on the InterWeb...
but I do not have that... far as I know...)

Just for argument sake. What is on the path from your SMTP server to the
outside world? IS there some firewall in ther trying to be smart about
SMTP traffic?

And they do have a long SMTP welcome message:220
bay0-mc12-f21.bay0.hotmail.com Sending unsolicited commercial or bulk
e-mail to Microsoft's computer network is prohibited. Other restrictions
are found at http://privacy.msn.com/Anti-spam/. Violations will result
in use of equipment located in California and other states. Sat, 13 Oct
