IM, probably unpopular, O, the correct to solution to all
Yahoo/Hotmail/MSN delivery problems is to ignore it. These guys emit
huge quantities of spam, have near useless abuse contacts[0] and make
sending email to them hard. Delivering to hotmail is extra interesting
as it's perfectly normal for mail successfully sent to simply never
appear in the recipient's account.

[0] The last time I contacted them to report spam, I included the full email including headers as per their instructions. About a week later I got a canned reply saying they couldn't take any further action as I hadn't included the mail headers. Assuming I'd simply made a mistake, I resent the email, definately including the headers. Again, several days later, the exact same message. At that point I gave up.
