Greetings all,
 I couldn't agree with you more on ALL counts. I hate to sound like
a "me too". But I/ we host a few black lists (RBL's). So I thought
that it seemed the most likely resolution would be to check with
the problem domains (hotmail, earthlink) and see who they are using
as an RBL. Themselves, or one of the well known ones:
http://ordb.org/submit/ is a great way to check if your listed most
anywhere, and hence, blocked.
