Ah, yes. That's great - thanks! I used

   "exim -qqRf hotmail.com"

And that works nicely!

If this is a long term problem, I _think_ you might want to consider setting

queue_smtp_domains = hotmail.com

but I'm not sure -- that option seems to correspond more directly to
-odqs than to -qq, and I'm really not sure what the difference is
between those two options.

Well, I don't think hotmail are always as bad as this. I *think* they usually have 12 of 16 servers available. I've just crafted a cron job to check their server availability at hourly intervals.

I think queue_smtp_domains is just going to queue all hotmail deliveries, instead of just the ones that fail, which is the opposite of what I want.
