Well, I don't think hotmail are always as bad as this. I *think* they
usually have 12 of 16 servers available. I've just crafted a cron job
to check their server availability at hourly intervals.

I think queue_smtp_domains is just going to queue all hotmail
deliveries, instead of just the ones that fail, which is the opposite
of what I want.
