Very long thread here ...
Just four questions :
- Did you report your problem to hotmail ?
If you did not change anything on your server and it worked=20
before, and sudently stop working only with hotmail, and after=20
some basic tests (clear local dns, server cache, clear xmail dns=20
cache, verify your ptr records, nslookup to hotmail mx, nslookup=20
for ptr record, ..., try sending to hotmail with telnet on same=20
machine, verify or add spf records as hotmail use them, ...=20
seems most of these tests where already done)
THEN contact hotmail ...
Seems something at hotmail was changed recently or you are now=20
'blacklisted' internaly at hotmail for some (bad) reasons=20
(new policies at hotmail ? bug at hotmail that spuriously block=20
some servers ...)
- Are you using filters ? in xmail server or in the path between
your xmail server and hotmail servers ?
See if any have been recently updated ? (bug in update, ...)
- Did you try to do smtp traffic analyse (using basic Microsoft
windows network analyser freely installable from add/remove in
windows component or free analysers like very good etherreal) to
track smtp sessions with hotmail to see when the problem starts=20
in the session ? This can help to find the underlaying problem ...
- Did you try sending to hotmail.com with a smtpgw.tab line
pointing to the smtp server at your internet connection provider
(or a not hotmail blocked smtp server from a friend) to confirm=20
that in this case mails are received by hotmail normally ?
"hotmail.com"[TAB]"<provider_smtp_server_fqdn>"
This can temporary resolve your problem with hotmail (if you have
no possible gateway to use, ask me) and confirm taht this is not a
mail or session content/format problem ...

Objet : [xmail] Problems with hotmail.com
After a week without solution I made a test to eliminate lan and dns
problems.
Using smtpfwd.tab to forward all messages to hotmail.com and msn.com to =
a
server with CDONTS (Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service) inside our lan I =
could see
that all messages were delivered without problems.
BUT my XMail server couldn't send them directly. I changed xmail's =
server ip
address but without success.
Could someone give me a light about this problem?
Thanks
