If that's the right issue a simple search for
hotmail.com file in your /mailroot/dnscache/mx/ dir
should reveal the truth

mine contains the following:
3600
5:mx1.hotmail.com.,5:mx2.hotmail.com.,5:mx3.hotmail.com.,5:mx4.hotmail.com.

This is a Win2003 DNS issue.
Some mailservers behind firewalls which do not allow transfer of UDP packets
larger than 512 bytes may not be able to return the MX record

If your firewall restricts UDP packet transfers though, you may want to
verify that it will allow transfer of a MX record within the size
limitations specified by RFC1035:

http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1035.html

Windows 2003 server has included Extension Mechanisms for DNS (EDNS0) to
allow larger packets.  If you run this command on a 2003 server: "dnscmd
Server Name/Config /EnableEDnsProbes 0", it fixes it without making any
changes to the firewall.
