Hi,

I have a web server, but have a weird problem with it.

If i send out e-mails, i think most places receive them, HOWEVER 1 so far that i know im having problems with is hotmail...

No matter WHAT i do, if i send an e-mail from my server to hotmails server, it just does not want to know. Hotmail addresses never recieve any of the e-mails from my server.

What could be causing this? Please ask for any information you require.

It could be that your server has been blacklisted - rightly or wrongly - as being a source of spam. If mails are bounced from the hotmail account then reading the full headers should give you an inkling. Unfortunately not all mail servers will result in full bounced mails. Sometimes the only way to control such spam blacklisting is to have your own domain AND one with a fixed or public IP address. Then, of course, never send spam from that domain/IP address pair.

Are you 100% sure you are sending to the correct email address. 100% sure. To be 100% sure you could send from the hotmail account and then use Reply To.
