I've found that making sure your spf records are correct tends to help a lot with hotmail. Their whitelist that you subscribe to along with money seems to be just a way of getting the spammers to pay to spam hotmail...

Off Topic: Hotmail

I am having a mare on two of my servers... in terms of sending mail to Hotmail....  Hotmail says:

Oct 13 15:01:53 www sendmail[11277]: l9DE1hnP011220: to=<MYUSER at hotmail.com>, ctladdr=<MYUSER at www.tbshs.herts.sch.uk> (0/0), delay=00:00:10, xdelay=00:00:02, mailer=esmtp, pri=120338, relay=mx1.hotmail.com. [65.54.244.136], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent ( <200710131401.l9DE1fti011214 at www.tbshs.herts.sch.uk> Queued mail for delivery)

( MYUSER has replaced the real names )...

Basically it says it has accepted it... but it never arrives...

This applies to roughly 8 out of 10 messages sent to HOTMAIL .

Does anyone have any ideas what I can do to get it to accept my mail!

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