Sorry - I forwarded one I sent to my Hushmail account, because Hotmail
doesn't let you see the full and complete headers.
So - YES - email sent to my hotmail account had the exact address in the
"To:" header. It wasn't CC:'d or anything - it was a unique email sent.
So . . . maybe Hotmail is doing some kinda reverse lookup? (though my
Qmail-SMTP box has its own reversed domain & IP... fully legit.)
I thought maybe it was something else in the headers - because when I use
that Qmail SMTP server with Eudora things go through fine.
Again - I'll put the headers below if anyone might have any insight?

To my knowledge, their only criteria is whether the recipient address
appears in the To: or cc: headers. If it doesn't (mailing list mail,
bcc'd mail), it's junk mail.

The hotmail address doesn't appear in the To: header -- ergo, it's junk mail.
Here are my Qmail headers (when sent to hushmail - which can show you full
headers.)
