Hotmail is evil. last week I had serious ploblem due their blacklisting one of
my servers. It used to return a 553 error saying that the message was
refused due smam on the message or previous contents.
Even writing to postmaster got the same result.
I wrote them in another way and after 2 days and considerable troubles for
some of their users they replied that it was becouse my server had no spf
records, and suggested me to put them.
Anyway the service worked again.
just for two days.
I wrote again, they replied with an empty message, and the service come
up again.
after one more day again the refuse, another letter from me, asking to tell
what was the message thet triggered their filter, to see if it was a my or their
fault.
They replied thet there was in past some block for spam from that server,
but currentry there is none ..
no information on how the server was blocked three times in one week !!!
