What happens if you have a special Router (or whatever, I forget which
version of Exim you're running) before the default one for remote
deliveries, which just handles "problematic domains large enough that I
can't blow them off just because they're morons", which uses a different
transport, which in turn is essentially a duplicate of the normal remote
SMTP transport?

The databases are named wait-<transport-name> -- if you ensure that
Hotmail deliveries use a differently named transport, then does this
help isolate the problem to just delaying Hotmail stuff?

Or do the queue processors all end up waiting to try delivering the
Hotmail messages? I can't see a way to start a queue-runner which says
"only attempt delivery if Routed via this transport" ...
