   smtp

         15   mx15.hotmail.com[65.54.232.71]: Connection refused
         14   mx12.hotmail.com[64.4.50.7]: Connection refused

          8   mx09.hotmail.com[64.4.49.71]: Connection refused

and while were at it, yuckhoo is worse today:

When you're have trouble sending to these big ISP's, (with the exception of 
AOL), ALWAYS assume the problem is on their end.  So don't futz with your 
Imail registry for that reason.

The above instances come from this total traffic picture, for today:
