This isn't true.  I can send e-mails all day to a hotmail test account  
from IMP and they are not dropped for me.

Hotmail is not a "de facto" standard for mail transfer.  This  
statement makes no sense.  Hotmail is a MUA not a MTA.  Obviously, the  
hotmail site is using MTA's to deliver the mail, but the issue is not  
with the hotmail software but rather the SMTP agent.

Have to laugh at this one because *this* message is broken.  8bit  
transfer encoding is not allowed by RFC.
