Check the junk mail folder in the hotmail account.  I have seen this before.

>From their SMTP server, try to telnet to the Hotmail server to see if it
connects or comes back with an error:

telnet <<hotmail SMTP IP>> 25

You can do an NSLOOKUP to get the IP if you need it. Also, if NSLOOKUP
comes back empty, then Exchange's DNS lookups are also coming back empty
and you can look at the potential DNS problem.

Subject: Not sending to Hotmail???


Hi,
a couple of days ago, a client said that they could not send email to
any
addresses at hotmail.com. I tried myself from their server and indeed,
you
cant.
I checked the DNS settings on the server and looked at what the domain
hotmail.com resolves to, and it looks ok. The ISP say there is no
problem,
MSN say there is no problem they know about, and hotmail rekon there is
no
problem but are asking for more info.
Its MSX5.5 sp4 on Win2k sp4. It runs a DNS server with forwarders to the
internet DNS servers, and every other domain accepts mail fine, but
messages to hotmail just sit in the IMC send queue retrying and saying
that the host is unreachable.
I have recreated the internet mail connector and reapplied service pack,
but no change.

Any ideas at all?? Thanks.
