A default-setting Hotmail account <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> that I set up for testing received the welcome message and four subsequent messages OK, then bounced as recorded below. Hotmail claims a loop, but I see no evidence of one... though it does seem to be bouncing around a lot inside the ISP's machines.
Note that MTAs have to look at the number of "Received:" headers that are on messages, and if the count is higher than a certain threshold, they will assume that there is a mail loop and bounce the message. Many MTAs place this threshold at around seventeen hops.
It would seem to me that your ISP is screwing you around by the way they are passing around e-mail internally to their network. Get them to clean up their internal routing of e-mail, and this problem should go away.
