Hi Robby I may be on the wrong track here but I have seen this before and it turned out to be a firewall issue. By selecting the send HELO instead of EHLO on the advanced tab of the Internet Mail SMTP connector the problem went way. After upgrading our firewall I was able to unselect this option and all is fine now. EHLO is a later SMTP protocol than HELO and some older firewalls that interpret and change SMTP traffic don't support it. Older mail servers cannot either. Why this should worry Hotmail more than anyone else I don't know as upgrading the firewall here resolved the issue completely. I would have expected more problems than just Hotmail although we did have a number of latency issues but Hotmail was affected far more than anyone else unless I selected the option mentioned above. Hope that helps. Have a look at the articles below too. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoftcom:80/support/kb/articles/Q240/8/32.ASP&NoWebContent=1 http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Configuring-SMTP-Connector.html http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;241892&Product=exchange http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;818222&Product=exchange I think this will resolve the issue. Good luck and let us all know how you get on.
