I'm seeing 2 things: My default Imail queuing numbers gave too much emphasis on retry threads and frequency. I've lowered them.
The same 1/4 of the Hotmail MX hosts are still down this week. I stuffed the responsive ones into my cacheing DNS server in a hotmail.com zone and that alleviated the queue. The next day I checked my Imail log, because I wanted to get rid of that hotmail.com workaround before it bit me, and I found that the remaining 3/4 of the servers still regularly told my server to come back later, refused connection, or dropped the connection.
